What if I told you that everything you own, you could have bought for half the price and half the CO2 emissions - just by buying second-hand instead of new. PROBLEM Younger consumers understood this already. That’s why the resale market is booming, growing 11 times faster than retail, currently reaching 200 billion euros in Europe. So the market is exploding, and now it's fragmented and messy. For consumers, buying second-hand is time-consuming, inconvenient and unsexy. No wonder 75% of young shoppers say they'd buy more second-hand—if only it were simpler. My name is Evolena, I’m the Co-Founder & CEO of Faircado. And this — is how we will unify this market, to make second-hand the first choice of every consumer. TEAM Our founding team spent the last 20 years building & growing successful tech startups. I was a key employee at an ecommerce startup that went from 0 to a 9-digit exit in 5 years. I met my co-founder and CTO Ali 6 years ago at a YC-backed scaleup. He built the first Iranian online bookstore as a teenager. And our COO, Ollie, had a first exit at 18 with a second-hand marketplace. PRODUCT Today, Faircado is a browser plugin that automatically finds the best second-hand alternatives. It’s just the first step, but in a few months: DEMO We’ve built a scalable technology that uses machine learning to match text and images and show users the best deals. As we divert the traffic on a browser level, you guessed it: the websites cannot stop us. TRACTION - SUPPLY That’s why the second-hand platforms love us: we are the acquisition and retention channel of their dreams. We’ve already closed partnerships with 50 of the biggest resale players, like eBay, Vestiaire Collective and Back Market. And aggregated 20M products: electronics, books and fashion. TRACTION - DEMAND And our €100k GMV to date shows that consumers love it, too. IMPACT I mean, who would say no to saving money and the planet? By helping our users buy second-hand instead of new, we’ve not only made them save money, but also 40 tons of waste and 750 (seven hundred and fifty) tons of CO2. BUSINESS MODEL All of that, for free for users. But so… how do we make money? Easy, our partners pay us an average of 5% of the sales we help them generate. INVESTORS We are proud to be already supported by some of the most prominent entrepreneurs and VCs in Europe: like Atomico and Peak’s Angel Program, Earlybird and Fast Track Malmo. ASK We are now raising €1.5M to increase our impact, And to turn the trillion dollar e-commerce market into re-commerce - for good. Faircado is here to help the 2 billion monthly visitors of Amazon save money and CO2 by buying second-hand instead of new. Are you with us?
