Paris-based Mirakl has raised $300 million in a funding round led by private equity firm Permira valuing the e-commerce startup at $1.5 billion, the company’s U.S. chief executive officer and co-founder said in an interview.
The round makes Mirakl, which also has offices in Boston, a newly minted unicorn with a valuation of more than $1 billion. The company makes software that helps build marketplaces and online stores for customers including Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co., Kroger Co. and Siemens AG, its website showed.
