Almo, a fast-emerging D2C brand in the men’s premium essential wear space, has closed its pre-Series A funding of $2mn led by Inflection Point Ventures along with LetsVenture, AngelList India, and leading angels from the industry. Almo intends to bolster its branding & marketing efforts along with setting up its state-of-the-art R&D lab to continue innovating on sustainable product lines.

Mitesh Shah, Co-Founder, Inflection Point Ventures says, “Almo with its clear vision to make premium sustainable men’s essential wear is deep-rooted in consumer engagement via a digital first approach, has a great potential to bridge the gap in the market. With the growing need and evolving market, IPV aims to extend its expertise to strengthen the brand’s sustainable and innovative Men’s product line. Additionally, IPV looks forward to scaling its primary market and helping them tap the global market in the near future.”

Abhishek Shah, Co-Founder & CEO said, “Almo’s vision is to be the one-stop essentials’ destination for the evolved man, led by product innovation and customer obsession. We are thrilled and look forward to the partnership with IPV in this phenomenal journey, and we are just getting started! We have always followed a lean approach to scale with positive unit metrics, with this funds infusion we plan to continue strengthening our team & brand to scale across various online marketplaces, though D2C continues to be our primary channel which has been an edge against the traditional incumbents. We also plan to explore international markets this year via Amazon's Global Selling Propel Accelerator program access!”
