The Austrian born company says that, in its inaugural markets, Austria and Germany, it reached profitability in 2022, ahead of schedule.

Their dedication and passion have powered our remarkable journey, turning our dreams into reality.” “Equally, the network of, and close relationships with, our professional partners across Europe is crucial to supply high-quality, desirable products of multiple product categories.” Riku Asikainen, Founder and Managing Partner at Evli Growth Partners, says: "We are thrilled to announce our participation and support for Refurbed in this $57 million funding round.” “The exceptional team led by Peter Windischhofer, Kilian Kaminski, and Jürgen Riedl has demonstrated unparalleled dedication to advancing the circular economy in Europe. We are confident that this investment will propel Refurbed to even greater heights in the refurbished electronics market." Boris Bakech, Managing Partner at C4 Ventures, adds: “Many founders looking to scale their companies are met with many hurdles and in light of the challenges many tech companies had to face in 2023, this proved to be a difficult year for many.” “In this demanding environment, Refurbed not only thrived but also excelled within their sector while also keeping sustainability at the heart of every decision they made along the way.
