Samsonite International S.A. has raised $32M over 6 rounds; too few niche peers to rank its valuation yet.

Synthesized from the figures below est. — every claim rests on a number shown on this page. Valuation uses the retail sector profile.

Analyst read est. — computed against this company's niche peers in the same era. Inputs shown; not a quoted figure.

Program ended
  • Last raise 7.8 yr ago; this sector typically re-raises about every 13 months.
  • For a recurring offering issuer, long silence usually means the offering program is inactive or ended; it is not proof the legal entity is defunct.

Procedural diagnosis est. — rule-based common-sense checks over the filing pattern, issuer name, activity cadence, and surfaced operating evidence.

Recurring offering issuermedium confidence

Samsonite International S.A. behaves more like a recurring private-offering issuer than a conventional venture-backed operating company.

Issuer structure
Program-like
Frequent filings and follow-ons read more like a securities offering program than discrete startup rounds.
Lifecycle
12.5 yr record
Peak capital year was 2016 with $69.8M across 10 filings.
Market position
ahead of 92% of Retailing peers
Capital scale is ahead of 92% of Retailing peers; modeled value is above 88% of peers by modeled value. Large capital with mid-pack modeled value can signal an issuer/program profile rather than operating-company growth.
Valuation reliability
Lower applicability
Stage/dilution valuation models are weakest when the issuer is broad-sector, recurring, or vehicle-like.
Operating evidence
Sparse
No clear CEO/founder/principal role is surfaced, so operating-company confidence is lower.
Data quality
Needs review
Row-level filing totals differ from canonical totals, so amendment/superseded filtering should be checked.
What triggered this
  • 39 dated financing filings, averaging about 1 months apart.
  • No clearly named CEO/founder/principal role in the public records surfaced here.
  • No verified homepage on the profile yet.
  • Capital program peaked in 2016: $69.8M across 10 filings.
  • Largest single filing was $16.8M on 2016-07-01.
  • Filing rows sum to $222.8M, while canonical raised total is $32.3M; likely amendments/superseded rows are mixed into the detail view.
How to read the page
  • Read this less like a startup funding journey and more like a capital-raising program.
  • Stage-based valuation and peer labels have lower applicability for this pattern.
  • The more important signal is lifecycle: repeated filings ended years ago, so current activity needs outside confirmation.
  • Canonical filtering should be tightened before using row-level totals for diligence.

This issuer files recurring offerings, so the model treats stage labels as a loose sizing heuristic, not a clean VC ladder. The estimate anchors on reported filing amounts and dates, then applies benchmark dilution, survival, and markup assumptions. Directional, not a quoted figure.

How it compares to the market

Total raised — vs sector median (real $, all stages) 20× above median
This company$32.3M
Sector median$1.6M
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages) 9.0× above median
This company$51.7M
Sector median$5.8M

Raised more than 92% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 88% of peers (estimate).
