About

Mission

We empower people to achieve their desired lifestyles. The inflexible, archaic tech ownership space limits people’s ability to create, communicate and work. We aim to un-cage creativity, social connection, and personal development.

Vision

To create an evolution of the tech space and its economy: it’s no secret that modern supply chains and industries are placing our planet under immense pressure. Our model is committed to helping lessen this over the long term.

Brand Values

01 Authentic

02 Empowering

We want to match our subscription model to lifestyle, so by revolutionising the tech space and making tech so much more accessible, people will be able to better express themselves, create, connect, play, and work. Through this approach, we are broadening opportunities for people to connect to the life they want. And we don’t empower only the elites; we do so for all.

03 Reliable

We’re building something special together and believe this to be a collaborative endeavour, so we take support and guidance incredibly seriously. In this developing circular economy, you can also rely on us to offer true value and the latest and greatest tech. We’re honest and transparent and always operate with those guiding principles. We have an improved take on the concept of ‘refurbished’, where products we circulate meet the most stringent and exacting of standards - there’s no room for anything other then the gold standard with us.

04 Accessible

Tech is expensive and having the latest device every year might not make sense anymore due to the relatively incremental updates, while the complex and immense supply chains behind getting the latest devices on shelves have a significant environmental impact. Circular offers a unique approach to tech - for everyone - whether it’s the early adopter or the more prudent. We want to put devices in everyone’s hands in a way that’s sustainable financially, socially, and environmentally.
