Homelane to raise pre-IPO funds

Homelane, an interiors solutions provider, is looking to raise $80-100 million (Rs 640-800 crore) from private equity investors, VCCircle reported on Thursday.

The fresh capital will be raised through a mix of primary and secondary stake sales, and it will value Homelane at $600-700 million, the report said.

The report comes just months after a failed attempt at a merger with sleep solutions company Wakefit.

Last year, Homelane raised $50 million as part of its Series E funding round led by IIFL AMC’s late-stage tech fund, Oman India Joint Investment Fund (OIJIF) and Stride Ventures.
