Overview
Wavo purchases customers’ inventory, which customers repurchase as their goods sell. It announced €10M financing on October 13, 2026, reported as all-equity and led by Eurazeo with Axeleo Capital and HUB612 participating. Formal stage and valuation were undisclosed.
Why Wavo is interesting
Wavo combines technology and inventory assessment to address working-capital constraints. The investment case depends on stock valuation, turnover, loss experience and sustainable unit economics as transaction sizes grow.
Product & use cases
Wavo assesses business inventory and offers ownership-based working-capital transactions. Its company announcement cites current transaction sizes of €200,000–€2M per business and an ambition to double them. €35M inventory financed and nearly €100M client sales are company-reported activity measures, not Wavo revenue.

Competitive landscape
An alternative to conventional inventory loans, with purchase-and-repurchase economics. Product positioning as non-debt does not determine every contract’s legal or accounting treatment or remove inventory obsolescence risk.
