Paris, June 2019 – Clipperton, the European tech investment bank, is proud to announce it acted as sole financial advisor to Foodles, which provides canteen-like services based on connected fridges and workplace delivery, on its € 9 million Series B round.
Founded in 2015 by Michaël Ormancey and Clément Bonhomme, Foodles became the first French player to offer plug & play, connected canteen services to companies. Foodles provides its corporate clients with connected fridges fulfilled each day with healthy fresh meals for their employees. The company also complements its on-premise offering with a pre-order service in the morning, with delivery at the workplace. Foodles already managed to convince 50 companies with its new-generation corporate catering model, and today delivers approximately 5,000 employee meals per day.
“The originality of the model lies in the use of the connected fridge as a central and direct access point in the workplaces, which allows both very strong end-user retention and significant efficiency gains on delivery rounds” explains Michaël Ormancey, CEO and co-founder of Foodles. “We have had the chance to study all the different models in this space, and we are convinced that Foodles’ is the winning one” says Florent Thomann, Board member at Creadev.
With this additional financing, Foodles will be able to develop its commercial team, deploy its concept to other major French and European cities, and maintain its strong technological leadership. The transaction also allowed Foodles to part ways with catering and foodservice company Elior, which had invested in the company early on.
