Company mission
To empower and inspire anyone to cook delicious food by connecting the world's recipes and appliances — all orchestrated through a magical user experience.
Our take
Home cooking has become increasingly innovative in recent years due to smart cooking appliances, online recipes and ingredient management software. However, whilst all of these features are useful independently, many criticize them for their lack of connectivity with each other, showing a demand for an integrated solution.
Fresco supplies an app for smart home cooking, providing personalized tools that connect smart appliances and provide an augmented cooking experience. Users can view recipes based on the ingredients they have, follow step-by-step cooking instructions, control kitchen appliances remotely, and save their favourite recipes for future use.
Whilst cooking apps have been helping people for years, Fresco has taken this a step further by working directly with the appliances and ingredients in the user’s kitchen. With significant funding to support the broadening of its reach to more manufacturers and consumers globally, the company can continue encouraging people to cook more frequently due to the convenience that it provides.
