Our Mission & Vision

To date, Grover has circulated over 1.2 million devices, employs over 400 people, and stands as one of the fastest-growing scale-ups in Europe. We hit Unicorn status in 2022, and are scaling internationally! 

 

We're proud to champion a more sustainable way to use tech. With an average of 3-4 rental cycles per device depending on the category, we estimate that the rental of our portfolio from 2015-2021 resulted in 160,000 fewer e-waste products and about 250 tons of e-waste.

  • Develop design concepts and prototypes and test them with users by running user interviews, user testing, and usability sessions

  • An initial understanding of engineering and technical concepts, including front-end development
  • Strong English verbal and written communication skills, whether in one-on-one or group situations, including the ability to articulate the rationale for design decisions
