FOODe

Founded by Ken Clay

A dining app that recommends the restaurant, takes the booking and lets you settle the bill from your phone, with a slice of every transaction going to local food banks.

What they do

FOODe puts discovery, reservation and payment in one app.

Who it's for

Diners on one side, restaurants on the other.

What's different

In the company's words, a portion of every transaction supports local initiatives fighting food insecurity and waste, under the banner everybody eats.


What they've done, with sources
Back a founder

Every Fifth Star company gets the same $25,000 check.

Contributions go into the fund that writes them. If FOODe exits one day, our share comes back to the fund and goes out again, which is what makes us an evergreen fund.
