Kinstellar has advised Vivense and its CEO and founder, Kemal Erol, on a USD 130 million investment into the company by the Actera Group, a private equity firm focusing on investments in Turkey.

According to Kinstellar, "the new investment from Actera will, under the leadership of Kemal Erol, form the launchpad for the global expansion of Vivense’s online furniture business. The company plans to launch UK operations with a London showroom later this year, and its international e-commerce platform at the beginning of 2021."
