ReFoundMe is a software platform for identifying and locating personal belongings.

Each item is assigned a unique QR code and linked to the owner’s contact details in a secure environment.

ReFoundMe uses this technology to build a new, scalable Lost & Found system that combines physical labels (such as stickers and tags) with digital features — without the need for expensive hardware or batteries.

Our goal is clear: to equip millions of items with a ReFoundMe code in a short time and establish a network of thousands of Hubs. The more items and locations connected, the greater the social impact.

Are you as enthusiastic about our solution as we are? Do you want to help us develop our startup further or collaborate? We’d love to hear from you!
