If you’re watching the TdF, you’ve probably seen The Pro’s Closet commercials…which is a pretty ginormous testament to how far they’ve come from selling used gear out of a van down by the river.
While the increased interest in bikes is making (most of) our little bike-loving hearts happy, it’s also put a strain on traditional supply chains. However, The Pro’s Closet is intaking nearly 200 high-end used bikes from individuals a day and turning over their entire inventory of 600+ bikes more than 2x a month. They’ve innovated game changing risk-assurances to buying used, including Certified Pre Owned, 30-Day No Questions Asked returns, frame warranties, and generally made it so that you don’t have to be the type of person who passionately reads gear guides to get a quality used bike. Check out The Pro’s Closet and begin your search for high quality used bicycles!
The Pro’s Closet also buys used bikes and has paired with brands such as Competitive Cyclist to offer trade-ins when buying a new bike.


The Pro’s Closet Secures Major Investment
The Pro’s Closet closes $12M Growth Investment, Co-Led ByY Edison Partners and Foundry Group. Headquarters will also relocate to a 137,000 sq ft facility to meet demand and growth of operations.
The Pro’s Closet (TPC), the world’s largest and most trusted brand in pre-owned cycling, has raised $12 million in strategic funding led by Foundry Group and Edison Partners. Ridgeline Ventures and existing private investors also joined the round. The latest round of funding brings total investment in The Pro’s Closet to more than $27M.
TPC has seen more than 130% YoY topline revenue growth and expects similar YoY growth in 2021. To scale its expansion, TPC will move its headquarters and operations to a 137,000 square foot facility in Louisville, CO. This building is the former North American headquarters for Fjallraven and features 40,000 square feet of office space and 24 shipping bays.
“We’ve seen vertical marketplaces like jewelry, fashion, and luxury goods take off in the re-commerce marketplace. TPC owns the fast-expanding, high-end certified pre-owned bicycle segment. They’re introducing technology, efficiency, and buyer intelligence to a supply chain that previously didn’t exist. Given this transformative approach and the solid leadership at TPC, we are thrilled to join them as one of their partners,” remarked Ryan Ziegler, General Partner at Edison Partners.
“TPC is solving two meaningful industry challenges when it comes to purchasing a bike online: trust and selection. The team continues to focus on providing the highest level of service to customers and the results show this commitment is paying off. Foundry Group is really excited about this next chapter as TPC continues to scale quickly,” added Chris Moody, Partner at Foundry Group.
Since its founding in 2006, The Pro’s Closet has redefined the secondary bicycle market, working to lower barriers for purchasing pre-owned bikes and components. An unparalleled selection of high-quality road, mountain, gravel, cyclocross, triathlon, and e-bikes coupled with innovations like Certified Pre-Owned, Guaranteed Buyback, and Carbon Frame Warranty continue to differentiate TPC and drive customer loyalty.
The Pro’s Closet CEO and Founder, Nick Martin, stated, “We are extremely fortunate to have such an amazing group of investors, and the addition of Edison Partners alongside our long-standing relationships with Foundry Group and Ridgeline makes for a dream scenario. It’s an honor to welcome Edison Partners and we value their support and knowledge as we continue to scale for the incredible opportunities before us.”
To support The Pro’s Closet’s facility transition and growth plan, Gregory Boucher recently joined The Pro’s Closet’s executive team as Vice President of Technology. Boucher has more than 18 years of experience in e-commerce product development and full-stack management and is assembling a top-tier tech team to manage this new expansion phase.
