Zippin has developed the next generation of checkout-free technology enabling retailers to quickly deploy frictionless shopping in their stores. Zippin’s technology is being used by retailers on four continents to power checkout-free experiences in a wide variety of venues such as stadiums, offices, airports and train stations, convenience stores, hotels, convention centers and residential buildings.
In August of 2021, we closed a $30 million Series B funding round with participation from new and existing investors including OurCrowd, Maven Ventures, Evolv Ventures and SAP. This new round brings Zippin’s total funding to more than $45 million. This round comes on the heels of significant progress we’ve made in recent months, including signing numerous new accounts, launching multiple new public checkout-free stores, and further solidifying their leading technology within the future of retail.
We are looking to hire Zippin’s first Finance Manager reporting directly to the VP of Finance and Customer Success.
