9% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Oddbox is tackling food waste head-on by offering sustainable fruit and vegetable subscription boxes. The company partners with local farmers to source produce that would otherwise go to waste - often due to imperfections or surplus - ensuring that misshapen fruit and veg gets a second chance.
As a Certified B Corporation, Oddbox not only help sreduce food waste but also works towards a more sustainable food system. So far, the company has rescued the equivalent of over 121M meals, showing the significant impact of its mission.
Despite facing challenges in the past due to shifting market conditions for DTC brands, Oddbox is optimistic about 2025. With its path toward profitability in sight, the company is poised for a strong comeback, making its next steps into growth and expansion an exciting one.
