Transforming Circular Economy

Embrace our Mission

Circularity for everyone! We are on a mission to help people recover the value embedded in their pre‑owned goods, transforming them into currency, and enabling brands to sell more sustainably.

Live by our Culture

We foster autonomy within our team, driven by our mission and the belief that 'culture eats strategy for breakfast.'
