THE MISSION

Avento is a platform solution for buying and selling extreme sports equipment. It is made for extreme sports with specific and expensive gear, where general marketplaces cannot provide the necessary verticalisation and the second hand market is very active due to the cost of the equipment.

Avento provides full verticalisation within the different extreme sports, including specifically developed filtering algorithms. Furthermore, payments are handled over its escrow system to protect the buyer and seller from potential fraud.

We applied as an already formed team to join for the second semester of the Talent Kick program. We are proud to have been accepted to join the TK-S25 batch and to work closer with Talent Kick; so far the most valuable aspect has been feedback on our pitch!

"Talent Kick came at exactly the right moment for us. The non-dilutive funding gave us the runway to focus on building Avento, but the bigger impact was the structured work on the pitch and pitch deck. Being pushed to articulate our business model clearly, again and again in front of experienced entrepreneurs, forced us to sharpen our thinking and sharpen our model early on. We now have a much more defensible business case than we came in with."
