Japan AET Fund, Blume lead $1m pre-series A extension for India-based wedding portal

The Wedding Brigade, an India-based wedding portal, has raised over US$1 million in a pre-series A extension round led by Japan-based AET fund and Blume Ventures. Allana Group and angel investors also participated.

The startup will use the additional funding to scale its latest venture: creating and operating wedding banquet spaces. It will also continue to invest in its existing content and ecommerce businesses.

Founded in 2014, The Wedding Brigade aims to help customers create “stress-free weddings.” Its platform offers a range of curated services, such as event venues, makeup artists, and photographers.

Before this round, the company had landed US$1 million in a fundraise led by Blume Ventures, with Czar Capital, Mountain Pine Capital, Lets Venture investors, and the Keiretsu Forum joining in. The Wedding Brigade also secured over US$500,000 in a seed funding round in 2016.
