Lokalist

It is estimated that by as early as 2040 the earth will be depleted from many of the rare earth elements it takes to power our modern electronics, and our excessive consumerism is to blame. Our mission at Lokalist is to ensure more sustainable use of the millions of electronics that get produced every year by making it easy and profitable to upcycle your used electronics. At Lokalist our team helps users sell their smartphones fast by using real-world data and machine learning to make the price of used smartphones transparent, in any condition, in their specific city. Lokalist provides the seller with a price specifically generated for them based on information from sites like DBA, Facebook, and Craigslist. Then we seamlessly connect them with the company willing to pay them the most. We solve some of the biggest inconveniences such as figuring out of how much a secondhand device costs thus saving users time and money. By using design thinking and in-depth data analyzing, our platform has innovative features that add value to your experience and ensures a convenient and seamless transaction.
