Having exceeded its initial fundraising target by 150 per cent in just four weeks 12 months ago, UK-based food delivery marketplace, Cook My Grub, is seeking to raise GBP1.5 million through a combination of VC, high net worth individuals, private and angel investors.
After initial funds were used to invest in technology and build the sales, marketing and operations teams, Cook My Grub saw customer growth of over 250 per cent last year. In 2022, the UK’s home-cooked marketplace that offers authentic, healthy cuisines that cannot be found on the high street, is aiming for a 10-fold increase in customers.
The platform has provided a new source of income for chefs who have been hit hard over the last two years. With the aim of reaching a GBP3 million gross merchandise value before the end of 2022, the next phase of growth will also see some of the best home chefs from across the country aggregated onto the platform, providing them with expert training, more opportunities to earn, and new career prospects.
