Vudoo, which focuses on building infrastructure connecting media, retail and emerging AI environments, has closed a A$22 million Series B funding round, led by US private capital fund Blue Sky Capital.
The cash will primarily support international commercial expansion and investment in commerce technology.
Vudoo has also announced four appointments. Isabella Spragg joins as Chief Operating Officer, while Tash Henderson takes on the role as Managing Director, North America. Sophie Abrahamsson has been appointed as Head of Retail, North America. And Julian Colantuono is the company’s new Customer Success Director.
Nick Morgan, Founder and CEO, says: “Commerce is moving beyond traditional storefronts, with the transaction moment shifting into the media, content and AI environments where consumers discover and engage with products. We made a deliberate decision to build Vudoo for that future.”
“Having Blue Sky Capital back that vision is a significant endorsement of what we’ve built and the opportunity ahead. This investment gives us the capital to accelerate our global ambitions and bring that vision to market at scale.”
He adds: “Our focus is on building and powering distributed commerce networks for retailers, enabling transactions directly within the media, content and digital surfaces where consumers engage.”
“We’re assembling the leadership and capabilities to deliver this infrastructure globally, connecting retailers with consumers at the point of inspiration and turning engagement into transactions. Isabella will lead our global operations, Tash and Sophie will accelerate our North American expansion, and Julian will strengthen our ability to deliver and scale for customers worldwide.”
