Context

Founded in 2008 in Germany and operating in Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Italy and Poland, asgoodasnew is the European circular economy pioneer for premium consumer electronics products such as smartphones, tablets, MacBooks and iMacs, cameras and lenses, smartwatches and other valuable gadgets.

Working from offices in Berlin and Frankfurt (Oder), the company’s integrated consumer-to-business-to-consumer (C2B2C) business model covers the entire value chain of the re-commerce market from sourcing and testing to refurbishment and distribution.

In recent years, the company has demonstrated its ability to deliver double-digit profitable growth with high capital efficiency, and has achieved revenues close to EUR 70m as of today.

In the context of a booming circular economy market fuelled by new consumption behaviours and consumers’ ecological consciousness, asgoodasnew sought a financial partner to accelerate its European expansion.

The investment from Verdane, a tier-one tech-focused northern European private equity investor with EUR 2bn of assets under management, alongside some existing shareholders, will support asgoodasnew’s next phase of development and strengthen its position as a second-hand consumer electronics pioneer and leading provider for European customers.
