Its goal is to be a one-stop shop for corporate nutritional wellness.The San Francisco-based company was founded in 2014 by Michael Heinrich.
Based off my conversation with him earlier this week, Im guessing he wouldnt approve of the TechCrunch snack cupboard, which includes a year-long supply of Skittles, MMs and Fruit by the Foot.I wanted to do something more meaningful in my life, Heinrich told TechCrunch.
I had worked in really challenging environments and I found myself really enjoying the people and the problems but looking at the food we had available, a lot of it was ultra-processed and ultra-sugared.When I was sugar crashing and not being productive at work, I realized I should stop complaining and actually make a difference, he added.Oh My Greens tech-enabled service, which relies on machine learning to give its customers personalized recommendations for meals and snacks, has 200 customers today, including Lyft, Apple and Y Combinator.
With the investment, the company will expand throughout the United States and eventually launch overseas.
