We’re raising a seed round
Built for the way anglers actually trade gear
Anglers upgrade, experiment and rotate gear constantly — but the places to trade it safely haven’t kept up.
Facebook groups are messy. Generic marketplaces can be sketchy.
So we built a home that does.
Recast brings trusted payments, proper shipping, and an angler-only audience into one clean flow.
A growing community,
a clear need.
Anglers want good gear from people who understand it not bargains, the right kit.
Recast gives anglers:
Trustworthy trading
The Right Crowd
Fresh gear
Simple Flow
Why this matters
Every day, anglers look for solid second hand gear. Not deals. The right setup from someone who knows what they’re selling.
There just hasn’t been a simple, trustworthy place for it.
Recast gives anglers a clean space to trade gear with confidence, and it’s clear folks have been waiting for something like this.
Recast is live and already moving the kind of gear anglers care about.
The flow is steady, the apps are solid, and the community is starting to take shape.
The raise: €600k
