Plenti operates a subscription device hire service that lets consumers rent a broad range of gadgets — including mobile phones, computers, game consoles, VR headsets and autonomous vacuum cleaners — for terms from one month up to a year. The company runs a demand-side platform while introducing a supply-side programme, PlentiPartners, through which entrepreneurs buy ownership of devices for rental distribution via a dedicated subsidiary. PlentiPartners recently exited a trial phase after exceeding revenue targets by 60% and is available to sole proprietors and companies in Poland. The late seed financing will support growth of Polish revenues, expansion of the partner programme and preparation for European expansion in 2023, while funding hires across development, data analysis and risk assessment. Founded in 2018 by Wojiech Rokosz, Karol Klimas, and Wojciech Wójtowicz, Plenti has a 40-person headcount. The company positions itself around circular-economy trends and a consumer shift from ownership toward access. Plenti operates an on-demand rental marketplace offering new or near-new consumer electronics — drones, PlayStation 5 consoles, VR headsets, video projectors, robotic hoovers and similar devices — without requiring purchase or long-term rental. The service provides express delivery within Warsaw (two hours or less) and next-day delivery across the rest of Poland. The company emphasizes a shared-access model to reduce electronic waste and lower ownership costs and responsibilities for users. Plenti reports a constantly growing user base and says overall user satisfaction indicates the model works. Founded in late 2018 and based in Warsaw, the startup plans to expand express delivery services to additional Polish cities using proceeds from its recent fundraise. The new funding is intended to support that delivery expansion and broader service availability.
