THE PROBLEM
EVERY RESALE
ITEM IS UNIQUE
Without Circular
23 hrs/week
200 items × 7 min each, by hand
With Circular
1.5 hrs/week
Snap a photo. AI does the rest.
21+ hours back
every week, before a single item is even sold.
You didn't open a store to do data entry.

THE PRODUCT
ONE PHOTO.
AI DOES THE REST.
Circular is AI-powered inventory management for resale.
Snap a photo. AI detects category, brand, size, color, condition, and suggests a price.
Works across all categories — not just fashion.
Stores reduce admin time by 70-90%
Photo → AI classifies category & brand → ML model prices it → print label for POS → syncs to Shopify → optimized for Google & ChatGPT. 10 seconds. Sell everywhere.

THE VISION
NOW
We've built the AI-native operating system for resale.
We already have the stores. We already have the inventory.

NEXT
A global marketplace
for quality-assured
secondhand
Hundreds of thousands of verified products. One curated marketplace. The marketplace is where this becomes a billion-dollar business.
THE FLYWHEEL
More stores → more inventory → marketplace → more sales → more stores.
THE MOAT
Every transaction makes the AI smarter. Every store is supply no one else has. The data compounds.

THE TEAM
BUILT BY RESELLERS,
FOR RESELLERS
We built and scaled Cirkulær to €2M revenue in 2 years (Innovation of the Year '24, Brand of the Year '25), and hit the same ceiling every resale operator hits. So we built the software we wished existed.
