By Carl van Heijst
I pitched Forwarding on BNR Zakendoen, the daily business show on BNR Nieuwsradio. The segment is a short, direct format: what problem are you solving, for whom, and what have you proven so far.
The answer is short too. Returns cost European fashion retailers billions each year and are an environmental liability. Forwarding reroutes a return directly to a new buyer, which saves the retailer €5 to €12 per Forward and 310g of CO₂. We are live with Kuyichi, onboarding Oilily and Studio Anneloes, and have a signed pilot with eBay. The rest of the conversation is about turning those into a scaled business through the pre-seed round we are now raising.
