Catawiki

Catawiki is an online auction platform based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, founded in 2008. The company specializes in curated auctions of high-value items including art, contemporary design, watches, jewelry, collectibles, rare books, and vintage goods, connecting buyers and sellers globally. Catawiki is publicly listed on Euronext Amsterdam and employs approximately 900 people across Europe. The platform differentiates itself through expert curation and verification of items, building trust between buyers and sellers in specialized categories. Rather than competing on volume like mainstream auction sites, Catawiki positions itself as a community platform for serious collectors, enthusiasts, and dealers. The company has achieved significant growth since its founding, scaling to become one of Europe's leading online marketplaces for specialty goods.
