our roots.

first-hand experience with
product subscriptions.

where it all started.

a baby stroller subscription business in the Netherlands.

circuly co-founder Nick Huijs experienced first hand that rental and subscription businesses follow a high complexity, that normal e-commerce shops
cannot cope with.
‍
In 2017 he launched one of the first baby stroller subscription business in the Netherlands after researching about the circular economy and "access over ownership models".

He learned what complexity a product subscription model entails - from subscription management, recurring billing up to asset tracking and return handling and decided to build something on his own.

where it took off.

the way to becoming a software-as-a-service.

When companies in the same domain reached out to Nick, asking if they can buy what he developed, the idea for a software-as-a-service for rentals and subscriptions was born.

In 2019 circuly co-founder Victoria Erdbrügger joined and the company fully pivoted from a stroller subscription business to a full software-as-a-service provider.
‍
Since then we are leveraging this knowledge at circuly to build a product that helps other companies to launch and scale their rental and subscription businesses - hassle-free and easy.

about us.

we are circuly.

We enable companies to rent out their products instead of just selling them. In this way, we create further sales potential for our customers and at the same time bring sustainability to E-commerce.

our vision.

striving for a circular economy.

Our vision is to change the way we consume our products for good and therefore expedite the transition from a linear towards a circular economy.

our mission.

changing the way we consume products for good.

We aim to change consumerism, make sustainability and profitability go hand in hand, extend product lifecycles and therefore stop wasting valuable resources.

How? Well, we start from within, as an international bunch of people working remotely we highly value transparent communication, constructive feedback and respect as well as self initiative, curiosity and a good laugh.

‍Yes, our business case contributes to creating circularity in our economy, though every individual still has to do their share. We aim to act as ‘circuly’ as possible in everything we do. Inspiration is the best way to enable an overall mindset shift in the consumerism that we live in. The climate crisis is a serious issue, but we want to tackle it with positive activism and forward thinking measures.

this is us.
