Martie rescues pantry staples that would otherwise be discarded due to package changes, seasonality, or approaching best-buy dates and sells them online at discounted prices. The company was started by Louise Fritjofsson (tech) and Kari Morris (food) in January and launched initially in California. Martie offers products across ten categories — including breakfast, bakeshop, condiments, pastas, snacks and coffee — and came online with over 400 SKUs. Items are sold at roughly 40% to 70% off retail and customers can purchase a la carte via the website without a subscription; the company also provides English and Spanish call-in ordering. Martie’s stated mission is to make better-for-you food more accessible while diverting shelf-stable food from landfills. The company announced $3 million in funding from Upfront Ventures to support hiring, site efficiency work, buyer relationships and marketing.
