The company plans to use the funding to expand beyond hardware into software and security operations.
Tequipy already works with more than 150 fast-growing tech companies, including Booksy, Connecteam, Gigs, ICEYE, RemoFirst, and Taptap Send. It has grown 7x in the year leading up to this round.
The platform coordinates several hundred local partners who source, configure, deliver, service, and retrieve devices on the ground — no central warehouse, no cross-border shipping, no customs headaches for the client.
Why now? Distributed hiring has become the default for tech companies, but the operational layer around it — devices, accounts, access — is still stitched together country by country. IT teams rely on spreadsheets, local suppliers, couriers, and customs brokers to manage a process that spans dozens of countries simultaneously.
"I've seen ambitious, talented IT specialists who should have been building scalable systems end up repacking boxes and wiping laptops with rags, while also trying to solve the problem of a device stuck at the border," said co-founder and chief executive officer Tomek Stawarski. "We built Tequipy so IT can supervise the process instead of executing every step of it by hand."
What could go wrong? Tequipy's model depends on coordinating hundreds of local partners across 180+ countries — a logistical web that gets harder to manage as it scales. Global vendors with centralised warehousing and long-term contracts still dominate enterprise IT procurement, and larger competitors could replicate Tequipy's local-first approach with deeper pockets.
Expanding from hardware into software and security operations also broadens the competitive landscape significantly.
The signal: Smedvig Ventures, the lead investor here, is an established fund backing early-growth B2B companies, and its bet on Tequipy underscores growing investor conviction that the operational plumbing behind distributed work — not just the hiring or payroll layer — is a standalone category. With 7x growth in a single year and 150+ clients already locked in, Tequipy's early traction suggests that globally distributed companies are actively seeking a unified platform for IT device lifecycle management rather than tolerating the patchwork status quo.
