19 founders from 11 companies are joining this year’s edition of Dare to Scale.

What problem does your business solve (how did you start, what was the initial motivation)?

Half of the Bulgarians keep an old phone in their cupboard. One of the reasons for this is the lack of smartphone buyback programs in Bulgaria. At the same time, buying a second-hand smartphone without a warranty carries many risks, as one-third of second-hand phones have hidden defects. Swipe.bg solves these problems by 1) creating an ecosystem of partners to offer smartphone buyback programs; and 2) giving these phones a new life by offering them to customers with a 2-year warranty, 30 days right of return policy, and up to 50% cheaper than new devices.
