Who we are
Our mission is to connect the global food supply chain on one platform and we want you to be a part of that.
We are building the digital platform on which the global food trade will operate. Our company has the potential to reduce food prices, decrease food waste by 30% and reshape one of the oldest and largest industries on the planet.
We started the company in March 2018, validated product-market-fit and are now growing rapidly in the United States and Europe. Our founders have helped build companies such as Zalando (IPO’d), Lazada (sold to Alibaba) and Foodora (sold to DeliveryHero).
We have just raised one of the largest Series A funding rounds in European history. We are now transitioning from an MVP team to a fully-fledged Product & Design team.
We have a modern tech stack (serverless, Node.JS, native mobile apps, React, GraphQL) and a seasoned engineering & founder team. We offer you the opportunity to get in on the ground floor and earn equity in one of Europe’s next unicorns while it is still early-stage.
Our Product, Design & Tech teams are based in the beautiful city of Berlin (Kreuzberg) and we need successful candidates to relocate here.
Join us in building the next unicorn in Food.
