Orchard (We're hiring!)
Orchard makes premium devices more accessible to a wider range of people. It purchases high-quality used devices and sells them to customers. It considers the modern smartphone to be the most important communication device since the printing press. Smartphones, despite being lighter than a roll of quarters and taking up less space than a paperbackbook, can connect us to the things we care about the most. They believe that people should spend more time using them and less time complaining about how much they cost.
