Our take
Hungryroot is a grocery and meal kit service looking to revolutionize the end-to-end grocery experience. Its platform uses proprietary AI tech to personalize and predict grocery orders, whilst helping customers meet personal goals like trying new foods or losing weight.
The grocery market has historically been resistant to digitization, but as it begins to get on board with eCommerce there’s real space for innovation. An efficient and predictive grocery solution like Hungryroot is certainly unique, and possibly highly attractive in a market where speedy and personalized service remain customer priorities.
Especially promising is Hungryroot’s strong customer retention figures, which puts it in good stead. It has rapidly expanded despite challenges such as labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and inflation. By placing a continued focus on customer experience, it has the chance to continue growing in the coming years.
