Lyst is a global fashion search platform.[1]

History[edit]

Launched in London in 2010, Lyst is a global fashion search engine that connects millions of shoppers globally with items from over 12,000 designers and stores; from Burberry, Valentino, Alexander McQueen and J.Crew to Lane Crawford, Saks Fifth Avenue, Harrods and Neiman Marcus.[citation needed]

In June 2013, Lyst launched integrated checkout, a tool that allows shoppers to purchase products from multiple retailers directly through Lyst. They are the first company in the fashion space to launch this tool.

In October 2013, Lyst was named as one of the UK's Future Fifty,[2] a list of the UK's 50 brightest companies and most likely to expand and succeed.

In 2014, Lyst "raised $14 million in a round of Series B funding led by the venture capital firm Balderton Capital" with additional funding from DFJ Esprit, Accel Partners and Alex Zubillaga, Carmen Busquets; one of the founding investors in Net-a-porter, and John Lindfors; a managing partner at Digital Sky Technologies, to fund international expansion.[1]

In 2015, Lyst raised a further $40 million in Series C funding led by Group Arnault (the controlling shareholder of LVMH), as well as previous investors DFJ Esprit, Balderton Capital, Accel Partners, 14W, and an unnamed New York hedge fund.[3]
