Press release:

Revibe, the fast-growing marketplace for refurbished electronics, has raised $17 million in a new funding round led by Partech, with participation from E& Capital, Burda Principal Investments, and EQNX, alongside existing investors.

The new funding will help Revibe continue improving its service quality, upgrade the performance of its devices, and accelerate its international expansion across the Gulf region and emerging markets.

Founded in 2022 by Abdessamad Ben Zakour and Hamza Iraqui, Revibe offers consumers a smarter and more sustainable way to buy electronics by combining strict quality controls, competitive pricing, and a premium digital shopping experience.

Every device sold on Revibe undergoes a 50-point inspection, includes a 1-year warranty, and is backed by a customer-centric service model that has earned the company thousands of positive reviews.

“This new funding is a strong signal of confidence in our mission and model,” said Revibe co-founders Abdessamad Ben Zakour and Hamza Iraqui. “We’re proving that refurbished doesn’t mean second-best—it means better value, verified quality, and a more responsible way to consume technology. With the support of our investors, we’ll keep expanding internationally and improving every part of the customer experience.”

“Revibe is building the leading refurbished electronics platform for emerging markets. With Egypt as its operational engine and Dubai as its strategic hub, the team’s data-driven execution and clear vision set them apart. We’re proud to back them as they shape the future of sustainable tech across Africa, the Middle East, and beyond,” said Cyril Collon, General Partner at Partech.

Revibe has experienced strong growth over the past year, expanding across the GCC and South Africa. Its commitment to quality and sustainability has positioned the company at the forefront of the circular-tech movement, turning refurbished devices into a mainstream choice.

With this latest round, Revibe plans to keep improving its platform, enhancing product quality, and accelerating international expansion. Its long-term goal: to make renewed electronics the default way people buy devices — affordable, reliable, and sustainable.
