Olio is the world's leading food-sharing app that connects neighbors to share surplus food and household items instead of throwing them away. Founded in 2015 by Tessa Clarke and Saasha Celestial-One, the platform has 8.8 million users globally and has facilitated sharing of over 120 million portions of food. The company has a unique Food Waste Heroes program partnering with major retailers like Tesco, Pret A Manger, and Costa Coffee to redistribute surplus food through trained volunteers. Olio raised $43M in Series B funding in 2021 led by VNV Global to expand internationally and combat the global $1.3 trillion food waste problem.
