Question: are birdies and all birds the same?
Answer: On January 17, 2019, a D2C shoe (or rather, fashion slipper) company – Birdies Slippers, secured a series A funding round of $8M. The similarity in name, and business model, automatically reminded us of another bird – Allbirds, which, in September 2016 secured its series A funding, of $7.3M.
