Trampoline, a pioneering cross-border B2B Home Décor brand, has successfully raised $5 million in a seed funding round led by Matrix Partners India and WaterBridge Ventures.
The round also saw substantial participation from Alteria Capital, contributing an additional $2 million in venture debt. These funds are earmarked to bolster Trampoline’s supply chain and sourcing capabilities, drive new product development, and build its early team.
Trampoline’s core mission revolves around democratizing access to design-led home décor for independent retailers, who represent a significant portion of the global Home & Living market, valued at over $800 billion. Leveraging industry trends such as the “China+1” dynamic and growing consumer preference for design-centric, artisanal products, Trampoline aims to establish robust supply chains across key manufacturing hubs in India and Southeast Asia.
Founded in December 2023 by Abhik Ghosh, Anushka Mahanti, and Varun Deo—former executives at leading firms such as Amazon, Wayfair, and Arla Foods—Trampoline boasts a wealth of experience totaling over 40 years in leadership roles spanning category management, supply chain, marketing, and product development. Anushka, with her extensive experience in go-to-market strategies for global brands, identified the untapped potential in serving independent retail customers, particularly in emerging markets like India.
Following a successful launch in the UK in February 2024, Trampoline has experienced robust demand, with over 1,500 units ordered within the initial months. Independent retailers and interior designers alike have embraced Trampoline’s mission to bridge the gap between their stores and manufacturers, underscoring the company’s potential to disrupt the traditional home décor supply chain.
With the backing of prominent investors and a seasoned leadership team, Trampoline is poised to redefine the landscape of B2B home décor, driving innovation and empowering retailers worldwide.
