It’s official! 🙌🏻 After months of hard work, we’re proud to share that FINDS has been chosen for L'Oréal Groupe’s Better Beauty Innolab program – a flagship initiative supporting innovative and sustainable solutions in the beauty and fashion industry. ♻️ Our mission at FINDS is to help brands manage surplus stock responsibly, complying with EU legislations. Through our data-driven platform, we connect buyers and sellers to ensure every unsold product finds its purpose, reducing waste and contributing to a more circular economy. As part of the program, we’ll collaborate with L'Oréal to scale our solution and make an even bigger impact. We’re honored to be among the selected startups alongside: - CoCircular: Streamlining 100% digital waste management for companies, with a recovery rate of 91%. - Vaayu Tech: Pioneering software to measure and reduce carbon emissions in real time for brands and retailers. The selection process was highly competitive, with 188 startups applying. Being chosen is an honor. We’re thrilled to grow FINDS as a leader in circular economy solutions. A special thank you to María Barrié, Open Innovation Director at L’Oréal Groupe, for her vision and leadership, and to Marcia Maciel, whose support has been invaluable in making this opportunity possible. Congratulations to CoCircular and Vaayu Tech – we’re inspired by your work and look forward to collaborating on this exciting journey! #Innovation #Sustainability #BetterBeautyInnolab #CircularEconomy #LOrealGroup

Techstars Sustainability Paris Summit 2024 summed up in two photos! 🙌🏻 Yesterday, our COO, Andrea Herget, spoke on the panel 'Innovations in the Circular Economy: Rethinking Resources' ♻️ with Nicolas Brien, WASTETIDE founder, Diane Roujou du Paty, circular investor, and Baptiste Fradin, who moderated the conversation. During the event, we explored how innovative solutions like the FINDS tool are transforming the way we address the overstock challenge, creating a balance between circularity and efficiency, and answering the question, "How can tech accelerate circularity?”. Apart from this, the day was filled with exchanging ideas – 🤝🏻 sustainability is also about getting inspired by people who are working towards positive change. It was nice to talk with you Polina Vasilenko, Imène Maharzi, Aldrich Huang, Vincent RIGAL! Thank you Raphaele Leyendecker Fabbri, Rebecca Ravenni, Lucia Gambuzzi and the rest of Techstars Sustainability Paris team for organising this great event. #TechStarsParis

🌏 There are enough clothes on the planet for the next six generations. Black Friday showed us that brands can continue to produce enormous quantities of products, even if no one needs them, because low prices and sales are still a factor that influences many consumer decisions. How can we fight against fashion overconsumption and improve our purchasing habits? Details in the post. Thank you, Nina Gbor, for sharing tips with us on this topic.

What Fashion Brands should know about the Ecodesign Directive? The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which entered into force in July 2024, replaced the previous Ecodesign Directive (2009/125/EC). This regulation is binding for EU member states. It aims to make sustainable products the norm on the EU market. 🚀 What Are the Most Important changes? Probably the ban on the destruction of unsold products, which aims to further enhance sustainability across the European Union. This means that fashion brands will need to start managing their surplus goods in a thoughtful way, if they are not doing so already. And that's precisely where we make a difference. FINDS is a tool that helps with this, making the process of selling surplus goods quick and easy. More information about the Ecodesign Directive we share with Martyna Zastawna in the video. #EcoDesign #ESPR

🤝🏻 Working together for a sustainable future is more important than ever. We can't rely on politicians, we must take action ourselves. Together with Martyna Zastawna, we have been collaborating to share important information about sustainable fashion, exchanging experiences to gain a valuable international perspective. ♻️ We believe that the more aware and engaged individuals there are, the greater the chances for change. Join us if you care about sustainable future. Let's see where our exchange of experiences leads us and what we can achieve together.

Startup ‘speed dating’? A fast track to finding your ideal investor match 🤝🏻 This week, we had an amazing time at the Impact Tech event in London, hosted by Techstars!

Thanks to the innovative concept from the organizers, we had the unique opportunity to connect with investors eager to support innovation that drives meaningful change. Each startup was paired with people aligned with its mission, making the experience dynamic and targeted. Events like these unite a community of visionaries who believe in using technology for good ♻️ For us, the chance to engage with like-minded individuals and discuss sustainable solutions was inspiring and motivating. Huge thanks to Raphaele Leyendecker Fabbri, Rebecca Ravenni and the Techstars Sustainability Paris for putting together such a well-structured and creative event!
