Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The online fashion store My-Wardrobe has received an investment of $9m (£6m) from a venture capital group to accelerate its growth overseas.
The injection of cash by Balderton Capital and Angel Investors is the first My-Wardrobe has received from an institutional investor. The British company sells "accessible" fashion labels such as Ralph Lauren and Mulberry. Its chief executive Sarah Curran, who launched My-Wardrobe in 2006, said: "Through investment in both offline and online marketing channels, we plan to accelerate our global expansion over the next five years."
Although it already delivers merchandise overseas, it has not yet done "any active international marketing" and the investment will help it push into Europe.
