Strategy & Business Development Manager, Motatos

Motatos positions itself as a rival to high street chains such as Aldi and Lidl, and claims to offer up to a 60% discount over its brick-and-mortar competitors. While customers may be reluctant to purchase discarded food even at a discount, Motatos banks on the brand recognition of its household name products to ensure trust with its users, and its careful price tracking and daily offerings serve to make its prices irresistible.

Since its founding in 2014, the company has recirculated almost 80,000 tonnes of food and consumer products and raised over $142.2M in funding. And as consumers become increasingly conscious of the environmental impact of their daily lives, Motatos is only going to see more growth.
