Laptops-as-a-service, for digital peace of mind.
IT innovation drives waste: devices age fast and get replaced needlessly, feeding a growing e-waste pile, while freelancers and users over 50 without an IT department feel real digital stress. Rondt offers “digital peace of mind” through a Device-as-a-Service model: a high-performance refurbished laptop plus pre-installed software, proactive security, automatic back-ups and a jargon-free helpdesk, with faulty devices replaced within 3 working days.
Rondt offers “digital peace of mind” through a Device-as-a-Service model. Instead of a one-off purchase, customers get a high-performance refurbished laptop plus full care: pre-installed software, proactive security, automatic back-ups and a jargon-free personal helpdesk. Faulty devices are replaced within 3 working days.
From ownership to usage, from linear to circular. By giving refurbished devices a second or third life through a subscription, Rondt keeps materials in use and maximises their lifecycle, moving IT away from fast replacement toward a world without e-waste.
Huddles collaboration
Huddles has worked closely with Rondt since 2025: on the cap table, in the room.
Why we backed them
IT innovation drives waste: devices age fast and get replaced needlessly, feeding a growing e-waste pile. Meanwhile many users, freelancers and those over 50 without an IT department, feel real “digital stress,” exposed by updates, security risks and support that doesn't speak their language.
How Huddles engaged
We co-build from the inside: backing Rondt through the pre-seed fund, with hands-on studio support on strategy, hiring and go-to-market.
Where they stand
After its first quarter of marketing, two things stood out: customers value device choice, not just the service, and customer acquisition cost dropped over 60%, pushing lifetime value / CAC to a healthy margin.
“Our biggest pivot, from service plus product to product plus service, came from sharp questions asked by Huddles, not from a dashboard. They build alongside you, they don't steer from the sidelines.”
Impact begins
with people.
