€150m raised, failed launches, layoffs and Europe's #1 ~ Kilian Kaminski

Hey Crew! Kilian Kaminski was running Amazon's entire refurbished program in Europe. He could see the opportunity. He could see Amazon had no intention of building it. So naturally, he quit and decided to do it himself.What could go wrong...refurbed is now the largest refurbished marketplace by markets across Europe. 24 countries. 10 million products sold. Over €150 million raised. But getting there involved investors telling him to delete the slide he cared most about, layoffs he describes as the most painful moments of his whole life, a Poland expansion that flopped, and customers calling to report they had accidentally received a new product.The messy middle is all here.We get into 👇:★ Why Amazon built the refurbished program to keep customers in, not to do good★ Founding refurbed in 2017 and selling the first product six weeks later★ How Jürgen built alone in five months what agencies quoted at €200K and six people for six months★ The layoffs that were the most painful moments of his life, not just his business life★ Why they became profitable last year and what that actually means for their next phase★ Do you have a random question or need advice? Pop it into the chat or send them to me!! I get to meet and interview some amazing founders and investors globally, so I'll have it included in an upcoming episode :) ★Follow us on all platforms!Instagram ~ @fayltalesTiktok ~ @fayltales LinkedIn ~ @fayltales
