I’m excited to introduce my newest project: Remy - a marketplace for meal kits from your favorite recipe creators!
📖 Some quick backstory
Last month, I decided to leave my new job 3 months after joining.
Two weeks later, I interviewed with the CEO at one of my dream companies in the cloud kitchen industry.
I was rejected.
They were looking for someone with more logistics experience, and unfortunately my 4.96 Uber rider rating didn’t count.
I was torn at what to do. I was unemployed for the first time in my life.
Should I go back to an entry PM role at a larger company? Should I start looking at other startups? Is it time to go back to school?
But a dream I’ve had since high school is to provide food that is affordable, nutritious, and delicious. And I believe cloud kitchens have the opportunity to disrupt the restaurant industry the same way that Amazon FBA disrupted retail.
So I decided to embrace the rejection and build up my logistics experience 📦
Introducing Remy!
Remy is a “white-label” fulfillment service for meal kits. We help popular recipe creators monetize their content by turning their cooking videos into meal kits. Watched a cooking video for birria tacos that you want to try? Remy will ship you everything you need to make it fresh in your own kitchen.
Check out our first meal kit launch with @cookingwithsaraht!
The idea rides on the coattails of two major trends:
Consumer demand for delivered foods is 📈 📈. Hellofresh, the largest meal kit company in the U.S, reported 122.6% YoY revenue growth in Q2 2020.
The creator economy is booming. And specifically food creators! In 2020, the average number of daily views on YouTube “cook with me” videos grew by 100%. But 97.5% of YouTubers still live below the poverty line (~$13,000).
There’s a lot of work ahead, but I’m excited for the journey. If you have experience working in the foodtech, or know anyone who does, I would love to connect and continue learning more about the industry!
