Funded Refurbished Technology Companies

Revibe, a UAE-based refurbished consumer electronics retailer, has closed a US $7 million Series A funding round co-led by ISAI and Resonance, with participation from Kima Ventures and footballer Édouard Mendy. Since its launch less than two years ago, the company has expanded its product range from smartphones and laptops to include gaming devices, accessories, and smartwatches, and has sold over 80 000 devices—resulting in approximately US $14 million in customer savings, a reduction of over four million kilograms of CO₂ emissions, and the conservation of 960 million liters of water. Revibe’s platform offers a one-year warranty, free shipping and returns, a 10-day return policy, and 24/7 human-led and AI-enabled customer support to ensure quality assurance and customer satisfaction.

The Series A proceeds will be deployed to accelerate Revibe’s expansion into emerging markets and to scale its customer care and quality-assurance teams, further supporting its position in the MENA region’s US $6 billion refurbished electronics segment. In parallel, the company has invested in dedicated iOS and Android applications to streamline the purchasing experience and intends to leverage the new capital to enhance operational capabilities, strengthen supply-chain partnerships, and maintain rigorous sustainability standards across its refurbished-tech operations.
