When Danny Rimer learned that an online sneaker marketplace called GOAT was looking for investors to help expand its business selling must-have Nike Air Jordans and Adidas Yeezy, he suggested that his firm, Index Ventures, lead a $60 million round.
“It had become quite clear the sneaker market was really taking off and these guys had come up with a way to make it easy to browse and buy and sell sneakers,” says Rimer, whose firm closed the round Tuesday, bringing GOAT’s funding total to $97.6 million. “It very quickly became a phenomenon.”
