Meal delivery services can save time, and typically money, but imagine getting a Michelin-star meal delivered to your home.
Enter meal delivery startup Entrée. Jon Bell and Jason Weingarten launched in Chicago last July with a Michelin-trained culinary team — led by Alex Carnovale of The French Laundry — preparing restaurant-quality meals that are packaged in recyclable and plastic-neutral packaging so that food doesn’t arrive soggy or cold. Most items are ready to eat in minutes.
Bell and Weingarten aren’t your typical meal delivery startup founders. They both have software backgrounds, with Bell previously working at Netflix as a global product lead while Weingarten was building education-related software.
