01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Unfurl was a San Francisco-based virtual food hall (ghost kitchen) company founded in 2019 by Chris Tara-Browne, Liudmila Kokorich, Alex Kharis and Mikhail Kokorich. Instead of one type of food, its kitchens hosted 8 to 15 different virtual restaurant brands so families could order many cuisines in a single delivery — positioned as an upscale food court for one order. It went through Y Combinator's Winter 2021 batch, raised a small seed round, and is now listed as inactive; no public failure account exists.
