Executive Summary

Learn about how refurbed, an innovative startup, could be the next Austrian unicorn. Learn more about their goal of providing pre-owned gadgets & tech at reasonable prices! Refurbed originally started as a marketplace where large companies can sell their refurbished electronics so that they don’t need to throw them away, think laptops and cell phones that are replaced. Now they offer a much wider range of products, from hand-picked refurbishers. Learn more in our interview.

Our goal is to be everywhere in Europe, as a mid-term strategy. Maybe also global in the future.

The Startup

Refurbed originally started as a marketplace where large companies can sell their refurbished electronics so that they don’t need to throw them away, think laptops and cell phones that are replaced. The company does not refurbish the devices, but they hand-pick the refurbishers on the platform. On average only two components are replaced during the refurbishment process. The marketplace originally was started for cell phones and notebooks, but now offers a much wider range of products, e.g. household electronics like a Thermomix, tablets, or smartwatches. Now even original producers are selling refurbished products on the platform.

Our goal is to be profitable at the end of the year [2023], which looks quite promising now. So we don’t need external investors, but we are open to talk.
Kilian Kaminski, Founder refurbed

Refurbed is funded with more than 70 m US$, at the time of the interview, with backing from 20 investors including Kreos Capital, Alpha Associates, Seven Ventures, Hermes GPE, C4 Ventures, Expon Capital, Bonsai Partners, Evli Growth Partners, All Iron Ventures.
