Everphone

What Everphone does

Everphone is a Berlin-based Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) provider that rents smartphones, tablets, and laptops to enterprises under a recurring subscription model, with full lifecycle automation covering procurement, staging, deployment, logistics, return, data erasure, and refurbishment. The company targets organizations with mobile device fleets of 500 or more, primarily serving large enterprises and mid-market customers across Germany, the Netherlands, France, and the United States, and reports a customer base of 1,000+ companies including Henkel, OBI, Goldbeck, Forvis Mazars, and Köln Bonn Airport.

The core platform connects rented devices into customer MDM/ITSM stacks for centralized management and exposes APIs for automated ordering and integration, complemented by add-on modules for managed MDM administration, Mobile Threat Defense, Choose Your Own Device (CYOD), and the Buy-and-Rent-Back (BARB) one-day fleet migration tool. A more recent Industrial Mobility line, launched with Pepperl+Fuchs in March 2026, extends the offering to explosion-protected rugged devices for hazardous environments. The platform holds ISO 27001, GDPR, and NIS-2 compliance certifications, and has earned an EcoVadis Silver sustainability rating, which is leveraged commercially alongside Android Enterprise Gold Partner status and OEM partnerships with Samsung, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Microsoft Surface.

Everphone generates revenue primarily through monthly DaaS subscriptions plus managed services and migration fees, with hardware pass-through dominating unit economics and service revenue derived from automation, integration, and lifecycle management. The company has raised approximately $32 million in Series C2 equity (2022, Cadence Growth Capital led) and significant asset-backed debt facilities including a ~$272 million facility from Citi, KfW, and Phoenix Financial in 2024 and a €45 million mezzanine from Värde Partners in January 2026, indicating an asset-heavy, fleet-financed growth model. The company is privately held, founder-led (Jan Dzulko), with a headcount of 101–250 and no disclosed parent or acquisition.

Direct peers

• Grover: Berlin-based consumer and B2B electronics subscription rental company. Comparable to Everphone in the European DaaS / device-rental category, though Grover skews more consumer/SMB while Everphone targets large enterprise fleets.
• CHG-MERIDIAN: Germany-headquartered IT lifecycle management and device-as-a-service provider. Direct competitor to Everphone in European enterprise device rental, leasing, and circular-economy refurbishment.
• GRENKE: Baden-Baden-based leasing and rental specialist for IT hardware, smartphones, and office equipment. Competes with Everphone in European small-ticket IT leasing and has overlapping enterprise customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Lenovo Device-as-a-Service: OEM-led DaaS offering bundled with Lenovo hardware (ThinkPad, ThinkPhone). Competes head-to-head with Everphone for enterprise mobility RFPs but is constrained to Lenovo devices and is part of a much larger OEM portfolio.
• HP Device-as-a-Service: HP's managed DaaS portfolio covering PCs, printers, and mobility. Overlaps Everphone on the laptop and managed-services layer, with broader hardware breadth but less mobility-specialization.
• Dell APEX: Dell's Device-as-a-Service program for laptops, desktops, and mobility. Competes with Everphone in enterprise device subscription and lifecycle management but is anchored to Dell hardware.
• Apple Business Manager / Apple Financial Services: Apple's zero-touch deployment and financing programs for iOS/Mac fleets. Increasingly competes with Everphone for enterprise iOS deployments and reduces the need for a third-party DaaS layer on Apple estates.
• Vodafone Managed Mobility Services: Carrier-led managed mobility services bundling devices, connectivity, and MDM. Overlaps Everphone on the connectivity and managed-services layer of the enterprise mobility stack, particularly in Europe.
• O2 Telefónica Business Device-as-a-Service: Carrier-anchored DaaS offering combining devices, connectivity, and management for German and European enterprise customers. Comparable to Everphone on bundled device+connectivity propositions.

Regional players
