Appear Here

Appear Here is the leading online marketplace for retail space, providing a platform for over 250,000 industry-leading brands, designers, and creative entrepreneurs. The company has successfully launched over 10,000 new stores in prominent retail destinations such as London, Paris, and New York. Through its partnerships with major landlords including Land Securities, Hammerson, and Westfield, it offers diverse spaces ranging from high street shops to unique venues, all exclusively available for booking through Appear Here for durations as short as a week. The platform's success is evident in its ability to reduce the time to secure a space significantly, going from an industry average of 3-6 months to just 3-6 days, with the current record being an astounding seven minutes. Founding in 2013 by Ross Bailey, Appear Here has secured over $20 million in funding, with major investments coming from influential backers such as Balderton Capital, Octopus Ventures, MMC Ventures, and Meyer Bergman. The company's continued growth is reflected in its team, which has expanded to over 80 individuals and boasts a presence in key global markets with offices in London, Paris, and New York. In March 2020, Appear Here announced a Series B investment led by Concrete VC as the latest milestone in its journey. The company's trajectory demonstrates its potential to revolutionize the retail space industry and have a significant impact on the way businesses approach their physical presence.
