You might have wondered what the Foodzie team has been up to over the past few weeks, because well…I’ll be honest, it’s been pretty quiet around here on the blog. We’ve sold a house, a car and many other things and made our way across the country (through tornados and hail!) to relocate our operations from Greensboro, NC to Boulder, CO.  

Why? Well, along with all the eating, traveling and developing we’ve been doing, we were also working really hard to get ourselves into an entrepreneurial incubator program called TechStars. We knew we could make Foodzie something great on our own, but we thought that if we enlisted the help of other really super smart people, we might just be able to knock it out of the park. 

We were fortunate, out of 392 companies, we were selected (along with 9 other companies) to be a part of TechStars this summer and receive mentoring from some of the most successful online entrepreneurs and most influential venture capitalists in the industry. We are absolutely ecstatic to be a part of the program. The added bonus is Boulder is full of foodies, people just as obsessed with finding great food as we are! The farmers market is bustling here and local artisan producers can be found all over town. 

So with all these changes, we’ve decided to postpone our launch for now. Over the summer we’re going to be tapping into the talented entrepreneurs and mentors to make sure that the social features we’re building into our marketplace can vastly improve how people discover and buy food online. We also want to ensure our process for setting up a store is dead simple for all those food producers we know that would much rather spend their time roasting coffee, baking cookies or crafting fine chocolates.
