The venture platform seeks to achieve fast growth through collaboration and resource-sharing in the online fashion and lifestyle space

Southeast Asia-focussed online fashion venture platform iFashion Group has raised US$1 million (US$735,000) from Rimu Group.

Coupled with the backing of corporate venture builder Fatfish Internet Group, iFashion Group aims to position itself as a corporate venture platform with an aggressive acquisition strategy – similar to South Korean roll-up play, Yello Mobile.

iFashion aims to ramp up collaboration and resource-sharing within businesses in the online fashion and lifestyle industry in Southeast Asia.

According to an official press release, it will target startups that are between three to five years old with a proven market traction.
