Investors in the ecommerce unicorn FirstCry, including SoftBank and NewQuest Capital Partners, are apparently looking to sell shares.
Japan’s SoftBank is attempting to lower its ownership of FirstCry, according to sources cited in an ET story. With a 29% interest in the ecommerce unicorn, Masayoshi Son-led investor is now the largest investor. It wants to cut its ownership to less than 25%. If this transaction goes through, it will be FirstCry’s third significant secondary share sale. The transaction might result in a $4 billion total valuation for FirstCry, up from the $2.7 billion secondary share offering earlier this year.
