The idea came from a pop-up shop Ross launched for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee called Rock and Rule.

To date, Appear Here has raised over $20 Million in funding from backers including Europe’s largest Venture Capital firm Balderton Capital, Octopus Ventures, MMC Ventures and Meyer Bergman. The team has grown to over 80 people with offices in London, Paris and New York.
