Handpick provides a recipe-discovery app and a data platform that identifies dishes users can make from a handful of ingredients and recommends complementary items to improve grocery shopping. It aggregates social and web food content, claiming a database of 100 million posts and about three million new posts daily. The company emphasizes simple, everyday meal suggestions rather than complex recipes and surfaces five complementary ingredients to help users shop. Handpick launched its iOS app in January and has just released its first Android app. The startup reports a six-figure user base and hopes to reach one million users by the end of the year. It has offices in San Francisco, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Manila and plans to localize the app for Chinese users while pursuing integrations with e-commerce partners.
