VizEat operates a marketplace that connects people seeking authentic local dining with hosts who cook and invite guests into their homes, and also offers cooking classes and local food tours. Founded in July 2014, the company says it has grown from 50 hosts to more than 20,000 across 110 countries. Most of its roughly 20 staff are located in Paris, and it also maintains offices in Spain and Italy. VizEat targets tourists and local residents in multicultural cities, and it partners with travel and hospitality providers to market experiences to business travelers to reduce seasonality. Recent moves include acquiring French pioneer Cookening last year and hiring Pierrine Griffiths to the management team. The company plans to use new funding to accelerate growth, open local offices, and recruit country managers in the U.K. and Germany.
