Dapper - the growth agency

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and position.

I am the Head of Growth of Valyuu

Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

Valyuu is the online marketplace for pre-loved consumer electronics. Via our platform you can sell & buy all kinds of tech / hardware. From iPhones to Macbooks and Tablets, in 3 simple steps you sell or buy them. Less hassle than selling it yourself, more value than letting them catch dust in the drawer. When sold we test the items thoroughly before posting them on our platform with real product photos and descriptions.

Within no time we find a new buyer who can buy that item for a better price than new or refurbished. As Head of Growth, I am responsible for the growth of the company, I am working on developing and executing the growth strategy (AAARRR). In addition I focus on bringing the product to the next level.

Dapper works with Monday to keep track of their project tasks. They shared the project task overview with us from the start.
