In May, Flip announced that over 1,300 users already acquired a phone via the platform, and that over €250,000 were paid towards the sellers that sold their phones on the platform.

Flip continued to have a supported growth both during the acceleration program Techcelerator, but also after. Even during this unpredictable period, the team surpassed the business objectives, reasons why we chose to continue the investments and even to lead the round
