Company mission
To make recycling quality furniture so easy that there would be no excuses for not doing it.
Our take
Mjuk is a European marketplace for used furniture. With furniture waste becoming an increasing issue globally despite efforts to buy second-hand, the used furniture marketplace is in need of more tailor-made platforms like Mjuk.
The company works not only with consumers looking to buy/sell their second-hand furniture but also partners with retailers, real estate companies, and manufacturers who are often dealing with unsold furniture.
There is considerable opportunity for Mjuk given that used furniture already equates to between 15-20 percent of the furniture market. This percentage is expected to increase further in line with the new consumer focus on sustainability.
Mjuk has already secured several rounds of funding since its founding in 2019. The company's next step is to consolidate its success in its current markets before breaking out into the rest of Europe.
