Delicious Data gets new investor

Delicious Data wants to calculate how waste can be avoided in companies. The Munich-based start-up has now completed a successful financing round.

In Germany, twelve million tons of food are thrown away every year. The start-up Delicious Data has set itself the task of reducing this in the future. The start-up, which was founded in 2017, has now completed a financing round. In addition to existing investors GeMü Beteiligungsgesellschaft and Käfer Capital, Übermorgen Ventures is now also a new investor. According to the investor, it focuses on start-ups that actively promote the reduction of CO2 emissions. Zurich-based investor Gian Reto à Porta is also participating as a business angel.

The concept behind Delicious Data: an artificial intelligence calculates avoidable waste based on existing customer data and external factors. This is intended to reduce operating costs for companies. Accordingly, customers are companies in the catering industry or providers in canteens and cafeterias.

Valentin Belser and Jakob Breuninger came up with the idea in their university canteen in 2017. Delicious Data received its seed funding in 2019. Last year, the Munich-based company was awarded the national prize "Too good for the garbage can" by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture.
