Team
YouFood co-founders Alex and Peter have been friends and co-workers since 2010.
Our buttoned-up bio reads like this: Peter joined the Cramster.com team in 2007, when its Pasadena headquarters was three people strong. Alex joined a few years later after impressive stints at JWT and eHarmony, and together - Peter leading operations and later product, Alex leading the engineering team - we helped build a homework help juggernaut that was acquired by Chegg. After two years boosting the homework help business to triple-digit growth inside of Chegg, we left to start YouFood.
Our jeans and t-shirt bio reads like this: We're two guys who are passionate about fundamentally changing the health game for the better. We shared successes (and beers) at our previous jobs, but knew that starting a company together was the challenge we both sought. Once we knew that YouFood was the right mission and the right idea, we left our day jobs to make it happen.
