About Faircado - Making re-commerce the new e-commerce
Faircado is leading the way in the sustainable shopping movement, making second-hand the first and smartest choice for consumers across Europe. Our mission is simple: turn the chaotic, time-consuming world of second-hand shopping into a seamless and enjoyable experience that’s better than buying new.
We simplify the search for quality pre-owned items by aggregating listings from trusted resale platforms into one user-friendly experience. By bringing structure to a €200 billion resale market, we’re not just building a product, we’re creating a shift in how people shop.
In January, we launched the first version of our mobile app. It has already been used and loved by hundreds of thousands of people who rely on it to find the best second-hand alternatives. We’re now focused on the next phase of growth, improving the product and expanding its reach.
Our journey so far includes the launch of a browser extension, a growing mobile community, and recognition as Product Hunt’s Product of the Day on Black Friday. We also won Slush 100, Europe’s largest startup pitching competition, and secured backing from leading investors including General Catalyst and Accel. Faircado has been named one of Germany’s top startups to watch, and we’re just getting started.
