In this episode, Tim is joined by Robert Chen, CEO of eatmise, a food delivery platform in New York City.
They talk about how eatmise partners with top restaurants to bring prepped, ready-to-cook ingredients to customers' doors, allowing them to cook restaurant-quality meals in under 10 to 15 minutes.
They discuss the challenges of upending an established business model and of building a three-sided marketplace, and how, by restricting their supply side to a curated offering of premier restaurants and dishes, they're able to drive demand and scale, profitably and predictably.

Do You Create Value or not?

It’s a simple question, but an honest one.

And in a crowded market, it’s the most important.

Join eatmise CEO, Robert Chen, and I as we break down his founder’s story and apply the lessons of a disruptive NYC food-delivery platform to the job to be done with OOH advertising and enabling brands to access the ultimate canvas.

Should you curate and limit supply-side partners?

  • Why does the opportunity exist in the first place?
  • Can your framework scale?
  • What’s your defensible moat?
  • Do you create value or not?

Key Moments -

00:11:03 Opportunity to monetize unused capacity.

00:16:23 Building a startup requires hands-on experience.

00:17:21 Outsider is the new Insider.
