Knihobot, operating as Bookbot in Germany and Austria, is a digital platform for buying and selling used books. The company has established a strong presence in the Czech Republic and has expanded its operations to Slovakia, Germany, and Austria, indicating a growing geographical footprint in the European market.
The business model is centered around the resale of pre-owned books, providing a marketplace for individuals to both sell their used books and purchase new ones. This circular economy approach to book consumption has resonated with a growing customer base, leading to significant revenue growth and profitability. The company's revenue model is likely based on a commission or a direct margin on the books sold through its platform.
Knihobot & Bookbot serves a broad client base of book readers and collectors who are looking for affordable and sustainable ways to access literature. The platform's use of technology to facilitate the buying and selling process distinguishes it from traditional second-hand bookstores. The recent Series A funding round of €4 million will likely fuel further expansion and technological development, solidifying its position in the European second-hand book market.
