Shoe care brand SHOEGR has raised $100K in a pre-seed funding round from early-stage startup accelerator PedalStart.
The startup will use the pre-seed funding to expand its product range, reach more customers and increase brand awareness.
It will also strengthen SHOEGR’s direct-to-consumer (D2C) business by improving its online shopping experience and forming new retail partnerships to reach a larger audience.

Anuj Sachdeva, Co-Founder of SHOEGR said, “Our pre-seed investment from PedalStart marks a significant milestone – it has come at the right time when we are experiencing steady year-on-year growth, and are ready to scale exponentially. We strongly believe that shoe care should not be seen as an afterthought, but become an integral part of one’s personal grooming regime and style. Going ahead, as we continue to take strides towards making shoe care seamless, more affordable and accessible for people across all ages, we envision creating a culture where shoes are not just worn but cared for and valued."
“We are thrilled to invest in SHOEGR – a brand committed to addressing critical gaps in the footwear industry. Operating in a nascent-yet-high-potential segment, we believe SHOEGR is well-positioned to become a go-to brand for shoe care in India. We are excited to propel their growth story, and will continue to enable them in more ways shortly,” said Chintan Kalla, Founding Partner at PedalStart.
