Worthmore

Pre Seed Round in 2021
It is quite difficult to dispose of your used phones in a responsible, easy, and eco-friendly way. This is one reason why the average person has two or more of these devices, just wasting resources and losing value in a drawer. We believe that there is a real opportunity to collectively make them #worthmore. Every year over 1 billion kr worth of used phones finds their way into drawers across Denmark alone. Our aim is to collect, reset, refurbish, and resell as many devices as possible, then use their collective value to drive meaningful impact within sustainability and climate action. We set out to build a platform that informs people what it takes to build their devices, why they should care…what actions can reduce their impact, and be the place where they can take these actions.
