Kigüi, founded in 2021 and headquartered in Mexico, operates in the intersection of Food and Beverage, Platforms, and Waste Solution industries. The startup is driven by the innovative mission encapsulated in its slogan: "The startup that incentivizes consumers to buy food close to expiration in LATAM".
Kigüi has developed a marketplace that not only empowers consumers to purchase food nearing expiration but also contributes to reducing food waste. By facilitating these transactions, Kigüi positions itself as an invaluable player addressing both consumer needs and environmental concerns within the Latin American context.
The company recently secured a $252.00K Seed Round investment on 01 June 2023, underscoring growing investor confidence in its model. The round was backed by prominent investors including IDB Lab, Newtopia VC, Antom.la, Living on the Edge, Inversiones El Trueno, and AWS Impact Accelerator. This infusion of capital is expected to bolster Kigüi's platform scalability and broaden its regional impact.
