Returna is a SaaS platform reinventing how organizations manage IT asset returns, redeployment, and disposal — the messy, expensive, and often invisible side of IT lifecycle management. Today, when companies refresh their laptops, servers, or mobile devices, the “reverse logistics” process that follows is chaotic. Assets are packed into boxes, shipped to ITAD partners or depots, tracked in spreadsheets, and managed through endless email threads. There’s no central visibility, data gets lost between systems, and sustainability reporting is nearly impossible. Returna solves this by turning reverse logistics into a connected, automated workflow. We help enterprises, ITAD providers, and logistics partners collaborate in one platform — tracking every return box, bulk shipment, and redeployment project from pickup to final erasure and reporting. Our integrations with erasure tools, ERP systems, and courier APIs replace manual coordination with real-time transparency. Think of Returna as the “HubSpot for IT asset recovery” — where every asset’s journey is visible, traceable, and optimized for reuse or responsible recycling. We’re building Returna because the IT disposal industry is stuck in the past. Billions of devices move through fragmented reverse supply chains every year, and yet most of it runs on Excel. The result? Lost value, unnecessary carbon impact, and compliance headaches for everyone involved. We believe that IT asset returns shouldn’t be a black box. They should be as automated, auditable, and user-friendly as any other enterprise process. Our mission is to power the circular IT economy — helping organizations recover more value from their hardware, reduce e-waste, and simplify their internal operations. Returna gives IT teams and their partners the digital infrastructure they’ve been missing: barcode-level tracking, smart workflow automation, and a shared workspace that brings all stakeholders together. The first beta version of Returna is about to go live and will be used by a number of ITADs and enterprise clients across Europe and the US. The next phase is about design excellence and product scalability: turning our functional platform into a polished, intuitive experience that scales globally. That’s why we’re looking for a design-driven front-end co-founder — someone who can help shape Returna’s product identity, lead our design system, and turn complex logistics workflows into a simple, elegant SaaS experience. If you care about sustainability, product design, and building software that matters, Returna is your chance to design the backbone of circular IT.

We use robots to automate and democratize access to healthcare! The groundbreaking robot, Careebo, has been designed and developed by a team of robotics researchers at the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) in Odense, a city home to one of the world’s leading robotics clusters. The robot was developed as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the issues we suddenly faced as a global society. Clearly, we were not ready - we want to change that! The pandemic led to cross-infection between citizens and healthcare workers, low qualtiy samples due to inter-personal variability, and unequal access to basic healthcare such a swab sample. At Lifeline Robotics, we aim to enhance our pandemic preparedness and global health securty by utilizing automation and robotics to create a system which enables ongoing and implemented monitoring of what moves around in our societies. We envision, that this system can be implemented at strategic locations, so citizens can easily engage before travelling, attending big events or visiting vulnerable family.
