Food Industry Coming to a Doorstep Near You
April 4, 2013
Are you too busy to cook up a feast for your entire family? Do you want to eat out but would just love to stay in? Well, America is right there with you. As people seem to be busier than ever these days, or quite possibly lazier than ever, there is a growing demand for services that cater or deliver food straight to your doorstep. According to the PitchBook Platform, 25 U.S.-headquartered Food Catering and Delivery companies have received a total of $115 million in VC funding since the beginning of 2008. Last year had the most activity by far, contributing $48 million in funding over 17 deals. As far as the current year, two Food Catering and Delivery companies received VC funding just this week: Chewse and EAT Club.
