[Apha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Paul Lee] Dunamu will expand its investment in its subsidiary's used luxury watch trading platform "VIVER."
According to the industry on the 12th, Dunamu acquired an additional 3.75 million shares by investing 5 billion won in VIVER through a board vote earlier this month. As a result, the VIVER stake of Dunamu increased from 76.68% to 81.34%. Dunamu first invested 9.5 billion won in Viber in 2021 and invested an additional 2 billion won last year.
In addition to financial investment, Dunamu is also actively supporting VIVER executives by directly appointing them. In July, he held a board meeting and appointed Moon Jae-yeon, former CSO of Curly, as CEO.
Although VIVER is a company that has only been established for two years, it is rapidly expanding its business. Since the launch of the official platform in August last year, it has been providing various services such as transaction support, genuine appraisal and premium delivery. Recently, VIVER said the number of subscribers has grown 10-fold over the past year and monthly transactions and transactions have increased 15-fold compared to the first month. However, as it was in the early stages of establishment, it recorded a net loss of 400 million won last year and 3.8 billion won last year.
