Our business model
Through our app, our companies can generate additional revenue by selling excess inventory. Our business takes a 10% commission of these earnings which gradually decreases with the amount of sold goods.
Research Findings
We made a research on the international market regarding this topic and our finding were the following:
Sustainability Matters
60% of shoppers care about buying sustainably, and 34% would even pay more for it.
Younger Generations Care
Millennials and Gen Z are especially interested in discounted, sustainable products.
What makes us different
Several players in the market provide similar solutions (e.g., green stores, Munch), but everyone often focuses on specific products like food. We specialize in electronics and household items.

Our journey
At first we were planning to sell goods in many product categories, but after seeing the results of the desktop research and consulting with our mentor we came to the conclusion that we should focus on one specific product category.
We decided to choose this path because our competitors also focus on one category and if we succeed with our chosen field we can always just expand from that point on.
Summary of User Research
Insights gathered from our user research to guide our strategy.
Positive Experiences
More than two-thirds of people already buy discounted or slightly defective products and are happy with them, which aligns with international data.
Popular Categories
Popular categories are electronics, appliances, and furniture.
Willingness to Save
80% would buy damaged items if they still work and are cheaper.
