#2. Klarna Banks $1B In New Funding As BNPL Competition Heats Up

(pymnts.com) : Swedish buy now, pay later (BNPL) firm Klarna said on Monday (March 1) that it has raised $1 billion in fresh capital, not only providing it with the cash needed to fund its expansion with more retailers, but also lifting the company’s implied valuation to $31 billion amid expectations that it will soon go public. Klarna : We're proud to announce Klarna will pledge 1% of the $1bn capital we have raised to a newly created initiative that focuses on key sustainability challenges around the world. 

스웨덴의 선구매 후지불(buy-now-pay-later, BNPL) 스타트업 Klarna는 3월 1일 10억 달러(한화로 약 1조 1,260억원)의 신규 자본을 조달했다. 더 많은 소매업체들을 대상으로 사업을 확장하는데 필요했던 자금을 확보했을 뿐만 아니라, 곧 기업 공개가 될 것이라는 기대 속에서 기업의 암묵적 가치 평가를 310억 달러로 상향 조정했다고 밝혔다. 이로서 Klarna는 유럽 핀테크 스타트업 중 가장 높은 밸류를 자랑하는 1위 스타트업 타이틀을 유지한다.   Klarna 공식 홈페이지에 접속하니 웹사이트 최상단에 다음과 같은 문구가 떠 있다. “10억달러가 있다면 무엇을 하실 건가요? CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski가 무엇을 할지 알아보세요.” 링크를 클릭하면 CEO가 직접 출연한 영상으로 이동하며, 그는 Klarna가 조달한 10억 달러의 1%인 1,000만 달러를 지속가능성(sustainability) 과제를 위한 새로운 이니셔티브에 사용할 것으로 밝히고 있다. 해당 이니셔티브는 4월 22일 세계 지구의 날에 공식적으로 발표된다.

“At the speed of business.” The phrase evokes capitalism with dynamic velocity, which is probably why it was the UPS ad tagline for years, and why Cisco later used another variation, “Innovate at the Speed of Business,” to articulate itself. So, what is the speed of business?
