Job Opportunities in the Seedcamp Portfolio

What is the most impactful thing one can do with our two most precious resource - talent and time. For us, it does not get bigger than the Global Food Ecosystem.

By applying first principle approach, we understood that the Foodservice Industry - folks that enable us to have food prepared outside of home - is the key to unlock the food ecosystem we want.

Since raising seed funding from Tier 1 venture investors, including those that put first monies into Revolut, Transferwise and Just Eat, we have reached profitability and our customer base has grown by 10x. Thousands of chefs, operators and owners across 500+ food businesses are counting on us. Every single day.

The Company

Today, food businesses from Michelin-starred restaurants to your neighbourhood cafes still rely onpen & paper, spreadsheets to run core operations - from costing menus, checking inventory to managing supplies. These activities are hidden away from the consumers’ eyes in what’s known as the Back-of-House, the beating heart of hospitality businesses. Unfortunately, innovations are all focused in the Front-of-House - what the consumers sees - such as Point of Sales, Bookings and Food Delivery. All of which cannot cope with core operations in the back.

We are building a new system. From the ground up. To change everything.
