Case Study: Imperfect Foods
Imperfect Foods delivers groceries on a mission. Co-founder, Ben Simon, while attending the University of Maryland was shocked to see how much food was being thrown away in his college cafeteria. He recalls, "I was shocked to see someone buy a full sandwich, eat half of it, and throw the other half out. It was not the values I grew up with.”
Case Study: 4Ocean
4Ocean, with headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida, is on a mission to clean up waste in our oceans and on our beaches. While on a surfing trip in Bali, Indonesia, founders Alex Schulze and Andrew Cooper, were shocked to see the beaches covered with waste and “trash-filled waves delivering more garbage with each break”. That surfing vacation turned into a mission.
