Marie Kondo, the Japanese tidying guru whose advice on cleaning up has made her a household name, is looking to take the next step. Her company, KonMari, has held early talks with venture firms about potentially raising up to $40 million for new business opportunities, according to two people with knowledge of the discussions.
A spokesperson for the company, Rebecca Prusinowski, confirmed that KonMari was meeting with investors but denied that the firm was fundraising. Instead, she said, the talks are meant to find investors who are “the right fit” for the company.
