Bikefair

Seed Round in 2021
BikeFair is an online marketplace for comfortable buying and selling verified non-stolen bicycles. The idea of BikeFair arose from our personal need to buy a cheap (yet usable) bike for everyday use in the Netherlands. That felt like an extremely hard & annoying thing to do with the existent tools. We are also fed up by the number of bikes we and our friends have already lost to theft, and we realized there is a way out of this: we can cut the demand for stolen bikes by creating a nice and easy-to-use alternative. Designed to prevent trading stolen bikes, BikeFair offers an easy and fun to use service alternative to the shady dude trying to sell you an obviously stolen bike on the corner at midnight.
