Company mission

Here at Martee AI we're building the next generation of demand forecasting technology for food businesses. We're on a mission to bring the data science tools of today to food-to-go businesses in the form of a sleek SaaS platform.

Our take

Martee’s provides food-to-go businesses with the tools they need to grow their sales confidently, without increasing waste, by wrapping their next-level AI into a sleek co-pilot interface for both in-store teams and head office managers.

Martee's is part of a growing number of startups looking to overhaul the food landscape by using data science to improve the availability of great quality products. There's a significant opportunity to disrupt the traditional model, with the food-to-go industry still dominated by spreadsheets and ‘guesstimate’ work, resulting in widespread empty shelves and high levels of waste. Hundreds of millions of pounds are being pumped globally into funding solutions in the AI food forecasting space, and Martee’s closed its seed funding round in 2023.

Whilst they’ll face competition in this arena, the early-stage company has set itself apart by building its own ‘micro-store’ retail network - a continuous source of live proprietary training data. Co-founders Harry Slagel and Lucy Adams have respectively built, raised for and exited businesses in the food and technology sectors. By taking on a market ripe for disruption, Martee's has great potential to build a significant business.
