Farm-To-Fridge Food Delivery Service GrubMarket Grabs $10M Series A The experience of walking through the booths and shopping for produce at a farmers market is moving online. GrubMarket (YC W15) allows consumers to order fresh, locally-sourced food through their mobile and web apps. Once an order is processed, GrubMarket employees pick up the goods from the local producers and delivers the food right to the customer’s door. The company just closed a $10M series A led by Fosun Group with participation also coming from Y-Combinator, Battery Ventures, GGV and AME Cloud Ventures. Issues facing other on-demand organic food delivery startups like GoodEggs, which has been in a downward spiral after laying off 140 employees last month, have led GrubMarket to re-approach its own growth strategy. The company is suspending operations in all of their markets outside of San Francisco as they look to capitalize on the issues facing competitors and assert themselves to lead the pack in SF.

It’s an app called Foodie, which the pair showed off at the TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2015 hackathon. It shows photos and Yelp reviews of various foods in the area, and users can swipe left and right to save the ones that look good. The goal then is to show how many people in the area also liked what showed up on the app. There are two goals here, Kim says: to figure out what people like to help better make a decision as to where to eat and to figure out what foods and restaurants are hot at the moment. Picking new or the best restaurants, even for lunch with friends, requires slogging through a huge list of reviews on sites like Yelp. “We want to know where other people are around the location and then be able to give them what’s hot now,” Kim said. Of course there are challenges here.

Crowdtap Raises $7 Million To Help Brands Connect With Their Influential Customers Crowdtap, a service that allows marketers to easily collaborate with and mobilize targeted crowds of influential consumers, announced today that it has raised $7 million in series A funding. The round was led by Foundry Group, with participation from GSA Venture Partners and social media agency Mr. Youth. Mr. Youth invested $3 million of seed funding in Crowdtap back in 2009 (and served as an incubator for the company during its early stages), which brings the startup’s total current investment to $10 million. With an ever-widening gulf between consumers and brands, Crowdtap is attempting to retool marketing to make it a more collaborative and participatory process. Leveraging existing customer bases, along with locating potential new customers, is no easy feat for brands. For more on Crowdtap, check out the video below:

Farmigo: Tapping Into The Power Of The Web To Bring You Fresh Veggies It’s no secret that fresh produce straight from the farm can often beat the potato skins off of its supermarket counterpart — and why farmer’s markets are becoming increasingly popular. But unless you set aside that chunk of time every weekend to pick up your veggies from local growers, you’re probably stopping by your supermarket anyway. The solution to this has been the emergence of Community Supported Agriculture programs, where members of the community agree with farmers to purchase a certain amount of produce, and then pick that food up at local dropoff points at regular intervals. But, while they’ve been around for decades, these programs aren’t necessarily easy to find or use. If only we could use technology to make things a bit more efficient… Today, a service called Farmigo is launching as part of the TechCrunch Disrupt Battlefield, and it’s looking to make these CSAs more accessible, more popular, and more efficient — disrupting the way you set about buying your produce.
