TORONTO, March 22, 2023 /CNW/ - Buggy, Canada's leading rapid retail logistics company, is excited to announce its equity crowdfunding round on Frontfundr.
"With an experienced team, strong strategic partnerships and focus on path to profitability in this space, we're excited to offer the opportunity for individuals to invest in our growth through our equity crowdfunding round on Frontfundr," said Nicole Verkindt, CEO of Buggy.
"In most cities across Europe and the US, people don't think twice when they need something immediately. They open an app - click three times and what they need shows up in 15 minutes or less. This market has exploded around the world - but not yet, in Canada. Canadians, particularly young, urban consumers are looking for instant gratification. They don't want to have to plan a day ahead, purchase large minimum basket sizes, suffer receiving substitutions, or pay 25-30% over retail prices", says Verkindt. This funding route also opens up an opportunity for the company to tap into its large and growing customer base to participate as investors in the company.
