The global food system connects 570M farms to 8B consumers and is the most important, complex structure on earth. But with growing populations and no system alignment or technology, it's under extreme stress. To cope, intermediary players (brokers, importers, etc.) manage only their part of the supply chain. These silos lead to a wasteful food system - a driver of climate change. Choco's here to provide the technology required for a connected, wasteless, data-driven, and innovative food system. We’re here to lead a change in one of the oldest industries on the planet, not just take part in it. We’re here to shape, not to observe. The problem we’re solving is complex with many moving parts, the work we’re doing is difficult and ambitious. But we’re here to win. That’s why we need the absolute best people to help us get there. Choco was founded by serial entrepreneurs Daniel Khachab, Julian Hammer, and Grégoire Ambroselli. Since its founding in 2018, the company has grown rapidly and is now active in markets such as the U.S., Germany, France, Spain, Austria, and Belgium. In February 2022, the total value of goods traded through Choco exceeded $1.2 billion. In April of 2022, we gained another $111 million in Series B2 funding with a valuation of $1.2 billion - earning us unicorn status just a few years in.
