Copia ne yapar

We waste 3X more food than there are hungry mouths to feed. It is not a lack of food that's the issue, but rather an ineffective distribution of that food. Hunger is not a scarcity problem; it's a logistics problem. For the first time ever, we can effectively donate prepared and highly perishable food to those who need it when we need it most. Copia is a for-profit company that has built technology allowing businesses (e.g., food management companies like Compass Group, corporate cafeterias, universities, hospitals, grocers, caterers, etc.) to easily request pickups of their surplus food, have it matched, and safely delivered to non-profits in need. With Copia, partnering businesses can seamlessly access significant tax savings, dramatically reduce food waste through data and analytics on surplus, and remove CO2 from the atmosphere, all while feeding their community. We have diverted over 7M pounds of edible food from landfills and provided businesses and nonprofits with over $23M in savings. We will feed over 7M people with incredible food that would have otherwise been wasted!

Software to connect surplus food to nonprofits

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

We have built a platform that allows businesses with surplus prepared food to request pickups of that food. Our system matches the surplus food with nonprofits in need and coordinates safe deliveries. It also provides data and analytics to help reduce waste and claim tax benefits.

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

We live mostly in San Francisco, CA, and operate remotely as well. The company is based in San Francisco.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the food industry connections and nonprofit networks we need. Remote work allows us to work flexibly with partners and nonprofits across regions.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular

Bu, Copia şirketinin gerçek YC başvurusu mu?

Hayır. Y Combinator gönderilen başvuruları gizli tutar. Bu bir yeniden yapılandırmadır: gerçek YC form soruları, Copia'in kamuya açık verilerinden (lansman notları, kurucu geçmişleri, ürün açıklaması) yanıtlanmıştır. Copia gibi bir şirketin YC'ye kendisini nasıl sunacağını gösterir, gönderdikleri metni değil.
