FoodMaven is a foodtech company founded in 2015, headquartered in Denver, Colorado. The company focuses on reducing food waste in the supply chain by sourcing surplus, imperfect, and local food products that would otherwise be discarded. FoodMaven redistributes these products to institutional buyers, including restaurants, schools, hospitals, and food pantries. The company operates through a logistics-based approach that includes sourcing food from suppliers, transporting it to storage facilities, and delivering it to customers via an online marketplace. FoodMaven also utilizes procurement artificial intelligence to assist foodservice operators in making informed purchasing decisions and optimizing their orders. Their marketplace offers locally sourced, surplus, and near-expiration food products at discounted prices, typically around half the cost of wholesale. Since its inception, FoodMaven has successfully diverted over one million pounds of food from landfills, creating value for grocers, kitchens, farmers, and food assistance programs.
