Angry Monk is a London-based sustainability company founded in 2021. The company focuses on rescuing surplus and imperfect produce from wholesale markets to combat food waste. Inspired by a transformative experience at a Chinese monastery, Angry Monk aims to create a fairer food system that benefits growers, buyers, and the planet. The company operates primarily at night in London's wholesale produce markets, identifying surplus fruits and vegetables at risk of going to waste. Angry Monk procures these items on behalf of large contract caterers, providing market reports and tracking the carbon impact of their produce rescues. This service helps customers achieve their carbon savings goals. The leadership team consists of three co-founders with backgrounds in strategy and operations from notable companies like Amazon, Google, and McKinsey.
