Our take

Hungryroot is a grocery and meal kit service looking to revolutionize the end-to-end grocery experience. Its platform uses proprietary AI tech to personalize and predict grocery orders, whilst helping customers meet personal goals like trying new foods or losing weight.

Grocery shopping is a market valued at over $1 trillion globally, but has historically been resistant to digitization. This means that, as it begins to get on board with the general trend towards e-commerce, there’s real space for successful innovation. An efficient and predictive grocery solution like Hungryroot is certainly unique, and possibly highly attractive in a market where speedy and personalized service remain customer priorities.

Especially promising is Hungryroot’s strong customer retention figures, which puts it in good stead. It has rapidly expanded despite current challenges including labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and inflation. It is the 10th fastest growing food and beverage company in the US and is expecting additional growth in the coming years, placing a continued focus on customer experience.
