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.

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.
where it took off.

The way to becoming a software-as-a-Service.

Scott has been advising online retailers & brands about international e-commerce since 2004. He co-founded and was Managing Director of InterCultural Elements for 14 years

In 2023, Scott joined circuly as CEO to further develop the circuly ecosystem and partnership environment.
‍
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.
