StyleTread is an Australian online shoe store modeled on Zappos principles. The company was founded in late 2010 by Mark Rowland and Bjorn Behrendt using incubation capital from Lakestar. Based in Melbourne, it competes with Samwer-backed Zappos clone Zalando. StyleTread secured a Series C financing of AUD$12 million led by Starfish Ventures, with participation from Lakestar, Nine Entertainment Co., and Adinvest. Nine Entertainment recently invested $4 million, and Starfish's investment will give it a significant stake. The increased investment by Nine Entertainment means StyleTread is now majority owned by Australian shareholders. Starfish Ventures, which led the round, manages over $400 million.
