Copia is on a mission to solve the world's dumbest problem: hunger. We believe that in a world with so much abundance, hunger shouldn't exist. Copia streamlines critical connections between those with excess food (e.g. restaurants, markets, banquets) and those in need (e.g. food banks, homeless shelters, human service organizations). We enable rapid redistribution of excess food and challenge the structural causes of food waste and hunger. When your business or event has excess food, you can use our website or mobile app to request a pickup of your excess food. Our algorithm will connect the amount and type of food you're providing to nearby non-profits in need. Our Food Hero is then dispatched to recover and distribute your food. Your business will then receive photos and testimonials from the people fed allowing you to see the impact you made through Copia We founded this company as a way for businesses to save millions of dollars lost to food waste. Businesses find value in paying us to help them intelligently and easily feed the hungry, reduce their carbon footprint by keeping food out of landfills, while also providing them significant savings and tax incentives. People throw away food because it's the quickest thing to do, and they lack the means and incentive to do anything else. Copia provides the means (technology) and access to incentives (tax deductions, CSR benefits, employee engagement, and PR/marketing opportunities). Copia is the first business to provide a comprehensive end-to-end solution to deal with food waste. Interested in being part of the solution? Join us: www.gocopia.com
