About The Event
E2E would like to invite you to the second intimate online roundtable discussion with Profit Track (5th) and Fast Track (26th) disruptor Vashi Dominguez. We will be joined by a select group of leading investors.
Vashi are in the business of conveying emotion through jewellery. They have grown sales and market share 10x in the last 3 years by letting the customer co-create their own jewellery with experts to guide them in store.
It is an incredible exciting time for VASHI, as they have already raised £38M. In the current funding round, VASHI is offering investors a 5-year convertible loan note with a 7% coupon (3.5% cash / 3.5% payment-in-kind) on a discounted valuation.
Some of our Members are participating in the funding round, including:
- Philip Maskell: E2E Advisory Board Member, Founder of Essex Auto Group, and investor.
- Craig Goodfellow: E2E Advisory Board Member, Founder of Coryton Advanced Fuels Ltd, and investor.
- Hugh Chappell: Serial entrepreneur and investor in LADbible Group, MyVoucherCodes, Cloudshift Group etc.
After the first online investment conversation in February, some of our leading investors have decided to participate in this funding round.
We would be delighted if you could join us and Vashi online on Thursday 25th of March to discuss the future of the brand and the unique business model that helped them thrive despite COVID.
Meet Your Hosts
Vashi Dominguez
Founder, Chairman, and CEO – VASHI
VASHI is a disruptor in the bespoke fine jewellery industry that puts their client at the centre of the design and creation process, adding meaning to each unique piece of jewellery created, to be treasured forever. Vashi Dominguez, the Spanish, London based businessman, launched vashi.com in 2008 as a diamond wholesaler, before spotting a gap in the market to co-create bespoke fine jewellery with an immersive experience and the highest standards of process. Their first brick-and-mortar store, now their flagship, was opened in Piccadilly in 2017. They now boast 6 jewellery boutique style stores, including sites in Selfridges, Grafton Street and Westfield White City. Each store has its own workshop.
Along with their unique co-creation process, their mantra is to make bespoke fine jewellery accessible to everyone, offering the highest quality diamond jewellery without the traditional industry mark-ups. Vashi stores have a relaxed and lively environment, without the pomp and pretention often associated with fine jewellers. The business is exceptionally strong for engagement rings amongst the Millennial and Gen Z generations, otherwise not well served in the market.
