hoolah secures eight-figure series A funding from VC firm Allectus

The proceeds will be used to double down on their entry in Malaysia.

Buy-now-pay-later platform hoolah bagged an eight-figure investment led by venture capital firm Allectus in a series A funding round.

The proceeds will be used to double down on their Malaysia debut and fuel further expansion. Joining the round are Singapore-based iGlobe Ventures, who participated in hoolah’s seed round; Genting Ventures; Max Bittner, the former group CEO of Lazada; and Tim Neville, who is the CEO of fintech firm FNZ.

Founded in 2018, hoolah offers an omnichannel solution for online shopping. It allows customers to pay in three monthly installments without any interest or hidden fees. The startup has partnered with Sennheiser, HipVan and Skin Inc.

As over 90% of retail still occurs in a physical store, the core investment focus is to enable the team to build an omnichannel solution that enables customers to shop online and in-store.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
