AVONHURST ADVISES WASO ON EQUITY RAISE

Avonhurst is delighted to have assisted Waso with their latest equity raise, the proceeds for which will be used to scale the business’ online and retail offering. Waso is a Japanese food and groceries delivery business, founded in 2020 by ex JP Morgan banker, Toshihiro Yoshimura.

The Avonhurst team was led by partner, Joshua Swerner, with support from associate, Sarah Jackson-Koufie.

Joshua Swerner commented: “We’ve closely followed the evolution and success of Waso since its inception, so it’s been great to help Toshi and his team with this important capital raise and to underscore Avonhurst’s broad corporate offering – not just executing international, complex M&A, but also supporting ambitious business’ growth capital requirements and all things in-between. It also adds to our burgeoning experience in the food & beverages sector.”
