## About

Founded in 2021 and based in Zurich, Switzerland, and founded by Torge Barkholtz, Maximilian Zott, and Dmytro Boguslavskyy in 2021, CEBS AG, dba Kooky., is a waste management company that offers a reusable cup made of non-toxic PP polypropylene. In April 2022, CEBS AG raised EUR 6 million in Seed funding from Unternehmertum Venture Capital. Torge Barkholtz (CEO), Maximilian Zott, and Dmytro Boguslavskyy (CTO) are the co-founders of the company.

The company provides a reusable system for take-away beverages, as well as its own return infrastructure. Kooky operates as follows: The customer purchases a drink in a kooky cup from one of the partner businesses and pays a refundable deposit for the container. After scanning the QR code on the cup, it is placed in a kooky drop-off box. The deposit is credited to consumers via an app following the return. The cups are removed from the boxes, cleaned professionally, and then redistributed to the partner companies.

The organization plans to use the April 2022 funds to expand to Germany and Austria.
