An Update on Our Launch: October 2021
Wow - we've had an incredibly busy and exciting first few months, as you may have seen.
This our first ever newsletter, and we'd like to start off by thanking you for being one of the first people to support us on this journey.
In July we officially launched our platform in Finsbury Park. We are proud to have some incredible riders on our team already. We're working with some amazing local restaurants, family-owned businesses who work hard to create the most authentic dishes, from Italian and Greek to Ethiopian and Trinidadian.
We've also been lucky to attract some amazing support. In August we met with Jeremy Corbyn, who loved our vision of not only a fairer deal for riders, but a real power shift towards a fundamentally more equitable society. And we were thrilled to complete the UnFound/www.uk.coop/start-new-co-op/support/start-platform-co-op/unfound-accelerator accelerator as one of the top three teams in a public vote.
Catch us in the news!
We have had a whole bunch of news coverage from some really cool publications, that not only shout us out, but have also done some incredibly interesting work looking into the issues that we’re trying to address.
