Welcome to another episode of Category Visionaries — the show that explores GTM stories from tech’s most innovative B2B founders. In today’s episode, we’re speaking with Gary Lewis, CEO & Co-Founder of Resourcify, a digital waste management platform that has raised over €15 Million in funding.
Here are the most Interesting Points from the Conversation:
Businesses can turn waste management from a cost center into a revenue stream by effectively managing and selling their waste. This approach can also contribute to sustainability goals.
To disrupt an established industry, focus on adding real value and executing efficiently. Resourcify's success lies in its ability to simplify complex processes and deliver tangible benefits to clients.
Partnering with forward-thinking investors and stakeholders can significantly enhance your company's growth trajectory. Resourcify's relationships with innovative investors have been crucial in their expansion.
In a maturing VC ecosystem, especially for niche areas like climate tech, securing early-stage funding can be more accessible. However, ensure that the investors align with your long-term vision and add strategic value.
By automating routine processes, companies can free up their sustainability managers to focus on strategic initiatives, leading to higher recycling rates and additional revenue opportunities.
