Our Solution
Agentic AI, loop by loop.
Circular businesses fail for one reason: the math doesn’t work. Margins are thin, logistics eat profit, and processes run on manual labor. We’ve lived this as founders. Now we build agentic AI that fixes the economics, loop by loop.
Resale
Secondhand should be a first-class market.
Millions of Americans resell preowned goods, charities run some of the largest resale operations in the country, and brands increasingly want to own their secondhand market rather than watch it happen on third-party platforms. What holds resale back is operations: intake, grading, pricing, listing, inventory sync, and customer flows are manual, slow, and expensive at scale.
We build AI-powered systems for resale platforms, branded resale and trade-in programs, and large-scale resale operators. We know this space from the inside: we built a resale and reuse platform for preowned goods that earned two Department of Energy prizes, and we’ve supported the resale operations of the largest national charity chain in Texas.
Recycling
Recycling doesn’t have a willingness problem. It has a margin problem.
The full cost of recycling, from collection to processing, often exceeds the price of the recycled material at the end, and virgin material is frequently cheaper than recycled. Logistics consumes the largest share of the margin, collection rarely reaches the volume where economics work, and a fragmented market of brokers and traders adds cost between source and end user. The result: recycling survives on subsidies, mandates, and corporate ESG budgets instead of business sense.
We’ve worked on this problem at global scale. We built a recycling platform used by businesses in 150 countries, connecting sources directly with end users, and received an Environmental Leadership Award for superior material recovery. Today we can build you agentic AI solutions for residential programs, hard-to-recycle materials, enterprise take-back and recycling programs, recyclable commodity trading, sourcing, and compliance.
Reverse Logistics
Circularity is a logistics problem. Logistics is where the margin goes.
Nothing circular happens until products and materials physically move backward: take-back, collection, first mile, consolidation, returns, and the flows between collectors, processors, and next owners. In every circular business we’ve run, logistics was the single largest cost, and the hardest to scale.
We built a nationwide circular logistics platform focused on the first mile of the reverse chain, backed by a global venture capital firm. Now we build agentic AI for the whole reverse flow: routing, load matching, scheduling, inventory movement, returns handling, and documentation, so moving goods backward stops costing more than the goods are worth.
Repair & Refurbish
People don’t prefer disposal. They just can’t afford repair.
Repair loses to replacement because it’s expensive and inaccessible: labor costs are high, spare parts are hard to source, and diagnosis takes skilled time. Until repair is affordable and accessible, disposal wins by default.
We work with repair networks, refurbishers, and OEM repair programs to attack the cost side with AI: diagnostics from photos, repair-or-replace decisions, instant quoting, parts identification, matching, and job tracking. Our goal is simple: make the repair process efficient enough that repairing something costs less than throwing it away.
Beyond the four loops
We also work with circular economy and climate tech companies beyond these four loops. If your business moves products, materials, or resources through a loop, the margin problem is the same, and so is our approach.
