The Company: Home Bistro CEO Zalmi Duchman has a track record of success in this specific industry. He was CEO and founder of “The Fresh Diet,” an online meal delivery service he grew from startup to over $30 million annualized revenue before selling the company.

With Home Bistro, Zalmi demonstrates his ability to negotiate deals with major celebrity chefs, establish joint venture partnerships with complementary brands and navigate the M&A landscape as the company grows.

Home Bistro’s unique strategy – partnering with celebrity chefs and food influencers – enables it to not only to offer higher-quality food products but to leverage existing audiences of followers to acquire new customers. This strategy drives down customer acquisition costs and creates an opportunity to scale faster than through paid advertising alone.

Recently, Home Bistro made headlines being named Best at-Home Meal Delivery Services of 2022 by the New York Post and Best Gourmet Meal Delivery Service by Forbes.

The company also reported a 135% jump in overall sales from $299,178 in Q3 2020 to $703,364 in Q3 2021. Importantly, online meal orders rose by a whopping 501% for the quarter compared with the corresponding period a year ago.
