The people behind Golisto

Meet the founders and team behind Golisto – Europe's largest dedicated marketplace for retro games and collectibles.

Built by collectors, for collectors

A problem worth solving

Buying and selling retro games in Europe had always been fragmented. No consistent condition grading, no real price data, and no protection when things went wrong. Golisto was founded in Copenhagen to fix that.

From Copenhagen to Europe

Golisto is Danish at its core, but European in its ambition. Built around the realities of the PAL market, Nordic shipping, and a collector community that spans borders.

Trust as a foundation, not a feature

Golisto's answer to marketplace trust problems was to build verification and secure payment holding into the core of every transaction – not as extras, but as the baseline.

More than games

Retro video games are our heartland, but Golisto is open to all collectibles.
