About Brenger 
Brenger is a scale-up based in Amsterdam, founded in October 2016 by Wisse and Derk. Our transport platform simplifies the process of transporting large items such as bikes, cupboards, and sofas. By utilizing the empty space in vans already on the road, Brenger aims "to fill every courier van on the road." This mission creates a triple win: making large item transport easy and affordable, providing additional income for our couriers, and reducing CO2 emissions by minimizing kilometers driven. Since our inception, we have eliminated more than 14,885,871 unnecessary kilometers, saving 4,372 tonnes of CO2.


Since our launch, we have grown considerably. Brenger started in the Netherlands, became active in Belgium and Germany, and we are about to scale up even further.
