Alexander Djordjevic and Ole Schaumberg“We have a clear vision for our company, that is, we want to surprise people who are just as enthusiastic about good food as we are with extraordinary groceries each month. We would like to realize this vision together with investors who truly believe in our company and who have already placed their trust in us before,” stated Foodist co-founder Alexander Djordjevic.

Foodist, which gained  fame on the German TV show “Die Höhle der Löwen” [Dragons’ Den],  launched its first Companisto campaign in 2013, raising €175,000. Foodist invested this capital in logistics, human resources, and sales. In 2014, the start-up then launched a second funding campaign.

Foodist LogoWhen we launched our first equity crowdfunding campaign, we did not even have our own office, so we held our meetings in a café,” reminesced Djordjevic. “Back then, we would still pack the Foodist Boxes and take them to the post office ourselves. Nowadays, a truck picks up the boxes at our own warehouse,” Ole Schaumberg added.

Foodist’s third funding campaign, which ends 10 September 2015,  aims to enable the startup’s expansion into the Benelux countries and to access to new business segments.
