Cosa fa Perfekto

Over 1/3 of food is being thrown away and in Latin America 72% of it prior to the consumer stage. Mainly due to physical imperfections or surplus production, despite being fresh and edible. Perfekto offers a grocery subscription box with imperfect and surplus food, home-delivered. Thereby, consumers save time and money while reducing food waste.

Juan led Walmart's eCommerce logistics and operations in Mexico.

Grocery subscription service against food waste

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

We deliver weekly grocery subscription boxes filled with imperfect or surplus food that would otherwise go to waste in Latin America. Our customers get fresh produce, bread, and packaged goods at lower prices, saving time and money while reducing waste.

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

We live and operate in Mexico City, and we plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Mexico City is where the food waste problem is urgent and where we have deep local knowledge, supplier connections, and customer demand. Being based here lets us build the operations and partnerships we need to scale in Latam.
