Heroes’ founders, Riccardo and Alessio Bruni

Heroes, a London-based startup that aims to acquire European SMEs that signed a partnership with Amazon FBA (Fulfilment by Amazon) for the logistics and customer service, attracted a venture debt facility of 200 million US Dollars (see here a previous post by BeBeez). Crayhill Capital Management, a New York-based investor in private credit that has resources of 820 million, provided the loan. Heroes will invest such proceeds in its organic development. Italian entrepreneurs Riccardo Bruni and Alessio Bruni founded Heroes in 2020.

Cars24, the Indian e-commerce of second-hand cars where Italy’s Exor Seeds had invested for the first time in November 2020, raised 450 million US Dollars (340 million in equity and 110 million in debt) on the ground of an enterprise value of 1.84 billion dollars (See here a previous post by BeBeez). The company attracted the resources of DST Global, Falcon Edge, SoftBank Vision Fund, Tencent, Moore Strategic Ventures, and Exor Seeds.
