Personal Comment from our CEO

Problem

Changing consumer behavior, stricter regulations and tough economies increasingly demand that retailers offer “circular economy” solutions like subscribing to products. But to manage and scale this model, retailers need a mature SaaS that masters the management & automation of physical product subscription businesses.

Solution

While there are SaaS solutions that focus on only digital subscriptions or subscription financing, circuly specialises in launching, managing and scaling the ever-growing category of physical product subscriptions.

Business Model

Recurring: Monthly retainer (EUR 499 – EUR 2499/mo) plus 1.5% avg. commission on gross merchandise volume (GMV).

One-off: Onboarding fee of EUR 1900 – EUR 5600

Traction

  • 318% YoY MRR growth for circuly / EUR 43k MRR in March 2024
  • 115k+ subscriptions and rentals have been powered by circuly since 2020
  • 52k+ active clients’ subscriptions
  • 438% avg. YoY subscription-GMV growth for circuly’s clients
  • Brands and retailers (e.g. Riese & Müller, StrollMe, swing2sleep, bugaboo) in 14 countries on 5 continents
  • 18% CO2 reduction due to multiple rental cycles

Exit Potential

Circuly’s SaaS for physical product subscriptions appeals to digital subscription competitors. Its European presence, strong placement in the DACH region and English language compatibility ease integration with US-based firms, fostering acquisition discussions and growth goals.
