The formation of Doji and its initial investment rounds
Doji was formed by our founders whilst they completed their course at the University of Oxford. They spent many late nights debating ideas, driven by a struggle to find a transparent and convenient way to buy and sell everyday tech goods. Doji is a marketplace for used phones and tablets, but we’re different. We want to create a circular economy for tech, helping people save money and unlock the true value of their devices. We want to help our users break the cycle and think about how their choices affect the world around us.
Doji is set to transform the global e-commerce market for used goods, and has raised an impressive $3 million in funding via a seed round led by Latam venture capital firm, Canary. Finalised in November 2021, the seed round saw investment from
institutions, prominent angels and unicorn founders with backgrounds in marketplaces, consumer goods and financial services, such as Lucas Medola (CFO of PayPal LatAm), Eduardo Alcalay (CEO of Bank of America Brazil), founders of publicly listed e-commerce company Mobly, and current and ex-senior partners of McKinsey.
