Your pitch & Vision
My vision is to enable schools to reduce food waste so that the money being wasted can be spent on improving education. By doing this, we can teach students about healthy eating which will help them lead healthy & sustainable lives.
Problem/Opportunity
Currently there are billions of dollars being wasted on leftover food globally. This money could instead be used to hire more teachers and improve the overall quality of education.
Solution & Product
My proposed solution is to combine feedback and food waste data to find insights in how to reduce waste. Currently, students are not being involved enough when it comes to school food. By measuring waste and continuously collecting feedback from students we can find the right insights.
Validation of Problem
This is a pivot from a similar idea which focused on restaurants where I interviewed around 50 restaurants regarding the issue. With that information, I realized that larger kitchens have more waste.
Competition & Competitive Advantage
The closest competitors are companies like Winnow and Generation Waste. I believe my advantage mainly lies in the feedback & my network. The competitors are solely focused on measuring waste, which is important however combining waste data with feedback is what will be the differentiator when it comes to the quality of the insights.
Team & Why Us
I'm a graduated business developer with a broad network in the tech, business & food industries with a deep passion for food and education. I have several years of experience working with logistics in the food industry and have some experience working with purchasing as well.
