WasteSide builds campus-focused marketing and recruiting solutions to help brands reach Gen Z and to connect companies with student talent. The company emphasizes direct, on-campus engagement and works with marketing and branding agencies as well as HR teams seeking students and recent graduates. WasteSide highlights proximity to the Schwarz Group ecosystem (Lidl & Kaufland) as a strategic channel to its target customers. The startup closed a €700,000 Seed round in early 2026 to scale its go-to-market efforts and to validate repeatable sales unit economics. Team members called out in the fundraising announcement include Pia, Charlotte and Paul. The company intends to use the new capital to maximize scalable customer acquisition and to prove the revenue return on sales investment.
