Company mission

As any old bear can tell you, there is a big difference between coming back home knowing there is nothing there and coming back home knowing there is a pot of honey waiting for you in the cupboard. We are that pot of honey. Pantree makes sure you are always excited to come home. Or to stay home for that matter.

Our take

Demand for sustainable, artisanal goods is increasing, but these products are often hard to access, especially in residential areas. Pantree solves this problem by providing residential communities with self-service micro markets.

Pantree began life as an online-only store, but it has since pivoted to operating small, self-service stores in residential apartment buildings. In doing so, Pantree has combined a curated selection of quality produce with unrivalled convenience. An impressive funding round, led by Ascension Ventures, has helped accelerate this pivot.

Pantree's main challenge will be competing with other providers, such as artisanal delivery services, and longstanding retailers. However, its unique, community-led approach should give it a critical edge.
