COPIA Funding & Investors

Laguna Beach, CA

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, especially when we waste three times more food than there are hungry mouths to feed. Copia offers the first end-to-end waste reduction solution connecting businesses with excess food to nonprofits in need. With Copia, partnering businesses can schedule on-demand and recurring pickups of their excess food, and Copia's proprietary algorithm matches donations to a nearby nonprofit. Businesses receive robust data and analytics to track their surplus trends; substantial cash benefits from automated tax deductions; and marketing materials to share their community and environmental impact. Copia has diverted over 3 million pounds of food from the landfill to feed those most in need in the community. This year, Copia will feed 4 million people!
