Foodtech Startup Intern for Martee's

Founders Factory's latest concept in the Mission Studio (backed by Nesta) is “Martee’s”.

🧐 What is the concept at high level?

What if we could change the food retail environment to make distribution easier for fresh food businesses? 

The ambition for this venture is to be:

A new retail channel for food producers and brands capturing real-time insights

Streamlining access into automated-retail as a distribution channel by broking between site locations, food producers and consumers

A simple way for employers or organisations to subsidise healthy food for their teams

24/7 access to an extensive range of fresh and healthy food brands for consumers

A distributed network with a national footprint in high traffic locations

Boosted through promotions, loyalty and rewards capabilities

A fully managed service, delivering tech, maintenance and stock to locations

⏰ Why now?

The new normal after lockdown has created new opportunities. More gig workers eating on the go, WFH making canteens obsolete, entrepreneurs spinning up food businesses looking to scale - Covid has changed how, where and when people eat. With this venture we can connect the dots to succeed in a new food environment. 

Many reasons to believe in the timing of the opportunity: 

Fresh food intelligent vending machines & smart fridges are operating successfully at scale in other markets

Employers seeking alternatives to a canteen with the increase in WFH

More food suppliers resulting from people spinning up new independent brands looking for new channels to reach customers

Food brands increasingly interested in this space as rents and wages increase

🍏 The Impact

This concept has the potential to shift the balance of food availability, with the potential to impact a broad cross section of society by providing better access to convenient, affordable, fresh food instead of unhealthy snacks.
