About Beans
We are a foodtech startup founded in late 2023 on a mission to reduce food waste while helping consumers save money. The biggest problem in food is waste. The biggest problem for consumers is inflation. We thought: what if we could help both?
At Beans, we are on a mission to help companies manage their waste more intelligently and, ultimately, eradicate it. At our very core, we believe in challenging the status quo by giving a second chance to products that would otherwise be thrown out. We believe in a world where there is no such thing as waste, only pre-repurposed products.
In France, ⅙ of the population has had to skip meals in the last year to stay afloat. We created Beans to put food brands’ unsold inventory at their disposal via a solution that can help them save grocery expenses by up to 50% every month.
Everything we do, we do it with kindness. We challenge every thought, every assumption, every number. We work to provoke alternative thinking and encourage open discussion, and we do it with radical kindness and respect. We have a strict no-asshole-policy.
After only 6 months of operating, we’ve already delivered more than 1700 orders and are seeing solid growth. It’s time to take ownership, empower businesses to do better and give consumers their purchasing power back!
The founding team
We are Ines & Louis, two co-founders with 6+ years of experience in the sector. We are crazy passionate about food and operations, as evidenced by our time at companies such as Deliveroo, Gorillas, The Modern Milkman and Choco collectively. We believe that one is not merely born with rights but also responsibility, so we are both highly driven by the idea of creating something that has a genuine positive impact on society and the world. That’s why at its core, our model is such that the higher the revenue, the higher the impact.
