Fellow builders,
we invite you to
share in our vision.
Cirkular is on a mission to empower individuals economically, make sustainability second nature and provide pathways for positive impact. Making selling as simple as buying is the key to such a world.
A short statement with long implications, as it means revolutionizing re-commerce.
By connecting people with opportunities to sell, repair, rent, and invest, we unlock new streams of income and impact, give people economic powers beyond work, maximize the value of ownership all while making sustainability simple and bringing immortality to the world of things. That’s the world we dream of. Time to make this a reality.
Thus, we built a platform that makes selling as simple as buying. Imagine selling all the belongings in your household in just one click. Think: Amazon reversed. And the best part—you can either cash out or invest your proceeds, much like Robinhood. We are re-imagining re-commerce from first principles. We are convinced at the core it´s about individual empowerment. This is the reason we believe in the fusion of re-commerce and re-tail investing; they are expression of the same core need.
We live in a world where you can buy everything, fast, simple and convenient. Yet, selling is incredibly hard. While 60%+ of people out there are interested in or actively buy used items, only 20% actively sell. Of course, there are many platforms where you can sell. But honestly it sucks!
Complex listing processes, unpredictable pricing, and concerns about trust and security deter many from participating. This inefficiency not only results in missed financial opportunities for individuals and is a big drag on their spare time but also contributes to environmental waste as usable items gather dust or end up in landfills. Why is sustainability hard, when it should be simple? In a world where you can buy everything in seconds, it should be possible to sell everything in seconds, too. Let’s change that.
The problem we solve: Selling sucks!
WE ARE BUILDING SOMETHING NEW
Massive Market Opportunity
Our addressable market is vast—nearly every household. With minimal penetration, we project triple-digit million revenues in 3 years and billions within 5
Traction
Early traction with high engagement proves the demand. We’re seeing strong user growth and interest from high-value re-commerce partners.
Built on AI Foundations
Cirkular is a platform built on the stack of the future. Leveraging the latest capabilities, we’re creating a seamless, scalable platform with AI-driven object and condition detection, pricing, and instant offers.
Instant Selling
Instant selling is the game changer for second-hand – and you don’t need to switch apps for another category, as Cirkular covers everything.
A New Re-Commerce
As Uber transformed mobility and Airbnb redefined hospitality, Cirkular changes re-commerce forever.
Sustainability Meets Profitability
Consumers are seeking sustainable options without compromising on convenience or cost. Cirkular makes sustainability second nature by turning eco-friendly actions into profitable opportunities, tapping into a growing demand for responsible consumption.
Hard to replicate
We are not playing the re-commerce game. Our unique blend of AI technology, gamification, and integrated investment features positions us as a novel category outside traditional re-commerce.
Built for Worldwide Impact
Our platform is designed to scale across multiple markets and categories. With minimal modifications, we will expand internationally, offering growth potential and diversification of revenue streams.

Alpha
Our 20 alpha users engaged deeply, cataloguing an average of 33 items each, valued between €500 and €4,900. Selling was enjoyable, with users embracing lower prices for Cirkular’s ease and flexibility. With 9 items sold per user and reinvestments in ESG, Crypto, and more, the alpha validated Cirkular’s potential to redefine re-commerce as an engaging, all-in-one experience.
Beta
We are currently in exclusive, invite-only beta mode. We are seeing strong organic growth, fuelled by a tightly connected and well selected initial user community. With +100 active users and a referral-only approach, our user base is expanding through genuine connections, keeping trust and quality very high.
Support
Cirkular is backed by strong market interest: We’ve secured LOIs with leading re-commerce players and are closely collaborating with these partners in our beta. Additionally, we’re engaging with local brick-and-mortar partners and are thrilled to be part of NVIDIA’s Inception Program, aligning us with top tech innovation.
