01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Meallogix was a San Diego-based food-tech startup founded in 2019 by Ted Stearns. It built an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software platform for meal prep and meal kit operators, automating recipe management, shopping and prep lists, nutrition labeling, supply-cost analysis and delivery logistics. The company raised about $3 million from Tech Coast Angels and Spark Growth Ventures, partnered with DoorDash, and grew quickly during the pandemic-era meal-kit boom. PitchBook now lists the company as out of business, though no dated shutdown announcement was found.
