It is a female led e-commerce company that allows couples to register for gifts, experiences, and cash funds as well as add gifts from other stores. Zola has expanded into wedding planning with free wedding websites, invitations, and items for the wedding day. There is no cost or fee to register with Zola. The company generates revenue by selling wedding gifts and wedding-related items.[2] HistoryZola was founded in New York City in 2013 by Shan-Lyn Ma and Nobu Nakaguchi. It was launched as an online wedding registry which for the first time allowed couples to register for gifts, experiences, and cash funds as well as add gifts from other stores, all in one place.[3] The registry allows couples to choose when their gifts ship and exchange gifts digitally before they ship.[4] The company has received $140 million in funding, the most recent being $100 million in 2018.[5][6] In 2017, Zola expanded from being a wedding registry to also offering wedding planning services through Zola Weddings. The free service includes wedding websites, guest lists, RSVP tracking, and customizable checklists.[4] The company introduced customized wedding invitations and save the dates in 2018 from investors including Comcast and Goldman Sachs.[7] In October 2018, home decor retailer Crate & Barrel and Zola initiated a partnership which allows Zola users to register for more than 3,500 Crate & Barrel products.[8][9] In January 2019, Zola opened its first brick-and-mortar location, a pop-up shop in the Flatiron District of New York City.[10][11] With a valuation of $600 million as of February 2019, Zola is on the path to being a unicorn (a privately held startup company valued at over $1 billion). According to The New York Times, "Zola is one of three companies on the list of [50] potential next unicorns that have been fueled by millennials' spending."[12][13] References1. ^{{cite news |last= |first= |date=February 22, 2019 |title=It Started With a Jolt: How New York Became a Tech Town |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/22/technology/nyc-tech-startups.html |work=The New York Times |location= |access-date= }} 2. ^{{cite news |date=May 3, 2018 |title=Wedding Startup Zola Valuation Surpasses The Knot |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/wedding-startup-zola-valuation-surpasses-the-knot-1525347020 |work=The Wall Street Journal }} 3. ^{{cite news |date=November 2, 2018 |title=With $100 million infusion, Zola launches major expansion |url=https://www.crainsnewyork.com/technology/100-million-infusion-zola-launches-major-expansion |work=Crain's New York Business }} 4. ^1 {{cite news |date=April 18, 2017 |title=Zola Moves to Take Over Wed-Tech |url=http://fortune.com/2017/04/18/zola-moves-to-take-over-wed-tech/ |work=Fortune }} 5. ^{{cite news |date=May 3, 2018 |title=Wedding-Planning Startup Zola Raises $100 Million |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-03/wedding-planning-startup-zola-raises-100-million |agency=Bloomberg }} 6. ^{{cite news |date=May 3, 2018 |title=Wedding startup Zola just received a lavish gift: $100 million in fresh funding |url=https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/03/wedding-startup-zola-just-received-a-pretty-sweet-gift-100-million-in-fresh-funding/ |agency=TechCrunch }} 7. ^{{cite news |date=April 18, 2017 |title=Zola Wants To Be Your Wedding Planner—And Save You From Your In-Laws |url=https://www.fastcompany.com/40406565/zola-story |work=Fast Company }} 8. ^{{cite news |date=September 21, 2018 |title=Crate & Barrel Teams Up With Zola, Hoping to Win Over Millennial Couples |url=https://www.adweek.com/digital/crate-barrel-teams-up-with-zola-hoping-to-win-over-millennial-couples/ |work=Adweek }} 9. ^{{cite news |date=September 18, 2018 |title=Why Crate and Barrel is partnering with rising digital competitor Zola: Customers 'want to shop where they want to shop' |url=https://www.recode.net/2018/9/18/17874102/crate-and-barrel-partnering-zola-wedding-millenials-tinder-products |work=Recode }} 10. ^{{cite news |date=December 12, 2018 |title=Zola Will Open Its First Brick-and-Mortar Store in New York City |url=http://fortune.com/2018/12/12/zola-wedding-store-nyc/ |work=Fortune }} 11. ^{{cite news |last= |first= |date=January 9, 2019 |title=The Apple Store of weddings is here |url=https://www.fastcompany.com/90289520/the-apple-store-of-weddings-is-here |work=Fast Company |location= |access-date= }} 12. ^{{cite news |last= |first= |date=February 10, 2019 |title=The Next Wave of 'Unicorn' Start-Ups |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/10/technology/new-wave-unicorn-start-ups.html |work=The New York Times |location= |access-date= }} 13. ^{{cite news |last= |first= |date=February 10, 2019 |title=These 50 Start-Ups May Be the Next 'Unicorns' |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/10/technology/these-50-start-ups-may-be-the-next-unicorns.html?module=inline |work=The New York Times |location= |access-date= }} 3 : Wedding industry|Companies based in New York City|American companies established in 2013 |
