People at Mise | The MY Collective LLC Initiative
There is no platform in the world that treats food, beverage, and hospitality professionals as the entrepreneurs they actually are. No career infrastructure. No community. No path from first booking to industry icon. The platforms that exist today were built for consumers — not for the people who create the experiences. Delivery apps take 30% and treat everyone as interchangeable. Booking platforms ignore the craft entirely. The professionals who make those memories possible — the chefs, the bakers, the sommeliers, the cicerones, the culinary storytellers — have been left behind. The food and beverage experience economy is a $40B+ market with no dominant platform. No community that elevates their craft as an industry and helps everyone that is part of it. That is the gap. That is what we are closing. We are building the next evolution in the hospitality experience — one that puts control back in the hands of the hospitality professional, where it has always belonged. Three things no competitor has built: the Experience Team — chef, beverage professional, culinary storyteller, and host curated and briefed together as one unified experience. The only culinary storytelling credential on any marketplace in the world. And a career arc that takes a professional from their first booking all the way to global journey experiences and a Master designation by discipline. We are not a gig platform. We are a career operating system. Built for the industry from the inside — by a founder who trained at the Culinary Institute of America, worked in Michelin Star kitchens in New York City, and spent 15 years building AI and data platforms at scale. This is the platform that should have existed twenty years ago. We are building it right — with the people it is meant to serve at the center of every decision.
