Dealinka has raised €6.5 million to scale its solution for redistributing unsold non-food products, a market still marked by fragmented logistics and persistent waste. Founded by Alexis Raspilair and Ramil Alvarez, the French startup helps companies redirect surplus stock to charities, reuse networks and recycling partners rather than destroying goods. The announcement comes as French businesses face growing pressure to reduce waste and comply with circular-economy expectations.
A Platform Built for Large-Scale Redistribution
The company targets a practical problem that becomes complex at industrial scale: giving away a few boxes is simple, but moving thousands of pallets requires coordination, storage capacity, transport planning and documentation. Dealinka asks companies to provide detailed inventories, including product type, volume and value, then uses its in-house platform to identify suitable recipient organisations. Its matching process factors in geography, storage availability and product categories to avoid inefficient redistribution routes.
Funding for European Expansion
The new financing will support Dealinka’s international rollout, commercial hiring and further technology development. According to Maddyness, the company generated €5.1 million in revenue in 2025, completed nearly 800 operations, processed around 45,000 pallets and redistributed more than €31 million in donated goods. Dealinka has also grown quickly as an organisation, expanding from two founders to 64 employees in three years.
A Sector Moving From Compliance to Operations
Dealinka’s model reflects a broader shift in how companies manage dormant stock, with surplus products increasingly treated as an operational issue rather than an occasional CSR gesture. Earlier coverage from Hauts-de-France Innovation Développement described the company’s role in connecting businesses with associations and reuse organisations within tight timeframes, while Dealinka’s own materials emphasise reduced storage costs, charitable impact and circular-economy benefits. The company’s public LinkedIn profile says its network includes more than 2,000 associations, reuse and recycling actors, although Maddyness reported 1,200 partner associations in the context of the latest fundraising article.
With this €6.5 million round, Dealinka is positioning itself as an infrastructure layer for companies that need a reliable route out of wasteful stock destruction. The startup’s challenge will be to maintain speed, traceability and regulatory rigour as it expands beyond France and handles more categories of goods. In a market where waste reduction is becoming both a legal and reputational priority, Dealinka’s growth underlines the rising importance of operational tools that turn surplus inventory into social and environmental value.
