Why we have invested:

At Inclimo, we support circular economy models that reduce waste and optimize resource use. Hamelyn addresses a key challenge in the cultural industry: the large volume of books discarded despite being in perfect condition.

Its proposition offers a sustainable and scalable alternative to the traditional consumption cycle of books, giving millions of copies a second life while reducing the need for new prints —saving paper, energy, and CO₂ emissions.

Moreover, Hamelyn operates with a proven recommerce model, which has already transformed sectors such as fashion, and is now being applied to publishing with strong growth potential.

The founding team combines entrepreneurial vision and technological expertise, enabling them to build an agile, transparent, and competitive buy-and-sell system across global marketplaces. With its positioning in a rapidly expanding market, Hamelyn is well placed to lead the transition towards more responsible and circular cultural consumption.
