What Unfurl does

Unfurl is a ghost kitchen, but instead of having one type of food we enable families to order many types of food all in one order. Think of it as an upscale food court where you and your kids can order from 8-15 different restaurants all at once.

A virtual food hall that delivers

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a ghost kitchen platform that lets families order from multiple virtual restaurants in one order. It's like a food court online, where you and your kids can choose 8-15 different cuisines together, but everything arrives perfectly coordinated.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, and we plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team is based and where the food tech ecosystem is strongest. It's crucial for recruiting talent and testing the product in an urban environment where multi-cuisine delivery matters.
