"Gembah is uniquely situated to power the global product creation market, with e-commerce growth accelerating as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing more retail businesses to online-only models," said Johansson. "Human beings are creators by nature. It's what separates us from all the other species on the planet. Gembah works to bring that power back to creators and innovators anywhere."

Gembah President and Founder Zack Leonard said, "With the new round of funding from our valued venture partners and adding Henrik to our management team, we will continue to enable that creative spirit in a much more democratized and standardized way. By strengthening our network and honing product development, we plan to bring lead time from inception to shipment down even further, fueling the global product innovation engine when we need it most."
