Does showing a food service provider how they could save 250 thousand metric tonnes of carbon (just by modifying a few ingredients) interest you?
Are you sick of ‘selling data’ but love sales and want to do something more meaningful?
Do you believe our food system is broken? Want to help companies make better choices to lower impact?
If you’re an experienced SaaS seller who answered YES to the above questions, then we would like to talk to you!
