Comment from Culineer

Culineer says, "Jacob and Brian Thank you for spending time with me to discuss Culineer. I appreciate that you could sense the energy I, and our team! I sense a little confusion about the opportunity and our value proposition - which has helped me to clarify our pitch (thanks). At Culineer we're building the growth platform for the 2 million American farmers who service D2C customers at massive ($70B) scale. Both farmers and consumers alike are motivated to make a sustainability impact on the food system. Culineer creates a bridge for communication and educational support. Our self-serve SaaS platform allows farmers to engage and retain their customers through automated marketing, subscriptions, and recipes. Since we launched our campaign, we've made tremendous progress. Culineer 2.0 launched at the end of February and we're onboarding the farm clients from our wait list. "

What Investors Say

CEO, Eddie Black Group
LEAD INVESTOR
Invested $30,000 this round + $20,000 previously
As an investor in food/beverage companies providing early stage capital I look for specific factors prior to investing. After meeting Jodi and spending time watching Culineer go from an "Idea" to 'Ready for Growth" concept, I decided to re-invest thru Wefunder. Culineer has the potential to scale and grow into a leader in a $70 billion industry. Jodi has shown the hyper focus and commitment as an effective leader to attract a great team to help grow Culineer into the leader in the multi billion dollar 'Farm to Consumer' market.
