Welcome the Change

We simply knock on your door. Your waste leaves as a resource.

Viisiit.® is a door-to-door platform for circular living. A recognisable Viisiiter visits you, picks up used (frying) oil, (clean) glass jars, electronics, deposit bottles and more, and you receive ViisiitCoins as a thank-you. No hauling, no trip to the recycling centre.

How it works

Three steps, and you never have to leave the house.

  1. 1

    You become a Welcomer

    Signing up takes two minutes. A free membership is simply an option; those who want more convenience choose a subscription with extra pick-up moments and coaching.

  2. 2

    Your Viisiiter comes by

    At a time that suits you, he or she picks up your materials. At the door, with a chat if you feel like it: non-binding, because members are never obliged or pushed to buy anything from our advertisers, but they are rewarded for their participation, with a percentage of the advertising revenue in ViisiitCoins.

  3. 3

    You earn ViisiitCoins

    For every full box, bag or bucket, and extra for clean and pre-sorted. Save, exchange for gift vouchers or redeem with partners: you choose. And those who keep actively saving can acquire tokens over time to exchange for share certificates; that is not an automatic right, but a personal choice.

Honest about money

Why does a pick-up service earn from brands?

Collecting materials only becomes profitable at large scale, and then with thin margins. That is why the advertising model is part of Viisiit.®: brands of sustainable (local) products, services or experiences pay in advance for product introductions with members who are open to them, and part of that revenue goes back to the members in ViisiitCoins. That way the member does not pay for the introduction, the brand does, and the service stays affordable for everyone.

For whom

One visit at the door, three parties who all benefit.

For members

Convenience: your materials are picked up without you lifting a thing. Reward: ViisiitCoins for everything you hand in, to save, to exchange for gift vouchers or to redeem with partners.

For processors

Clean, pre-sorted materials, exactly the way you want to receive them. Processing at the door delivers what costs money on the assembly line: quality.

For brands

An honest way to present your sustainable (local) products, services or experiences to people who are open to them, at the kitchen table, in a real conversation.

“At the end of 2018 I simply knocked on doors in The Hague and Leiden. I had calculated that 5% participation is enough to become profitable. The first doors gave 14%.”

14%joined in straight away at the first, unannounced visit

Since that 2018 pilot I have spoken with many, many people and tried a lot to move Viisiit.® forward. Help is already here: my mother is helping me move ahead with a deal in which I pay my rent in future share certificates. But the major capital needed to launch is still missing, and without it a service like Viisiit.® cannot get off the ground. So there is one goal I have not yet reached: the first big investor. That is why everyone who wants to think along is welcome.

That is also what Viisiit.® is built on: no assumptions from a spreadsheet, but real doors, real people and a service they actually want.

Investing

A warm heart for this mission, and some patient capital?

Viisiit.® is looking for starting capital for the launch in the Netherlands. You can join small as family, friend or fan, or step in bigger as an investor. Prefer to just talk first? That is possible: you always speak directly with Alvin.

Family, friends & fans

From €250 through the Family & Friends agreement: economic share rights, personally explained by Alvin. The agreement is a separate document; on this site you only request it.

Investors

The pre-seed SAFE from €100,000, with equal terms for everyone. The exact terms are in the document you request from Alvin. Warm introductions are welcome too; for successful referrals a success fee is possible.
