Josh is the Founder & CEO of Flashfood, a mobile marketplace that connects surplus food from grocery stores directly to its community at deep discounts. He founded Flashfood in 2016 after learning about the environmental effects of food waste. Determined to make a difference, Josh often cites that if international food waste were a country, it would be the third leading cause of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) behind the US and China. Flashfood doubles down on using food to do good, by rescuing food that can be used to help feed those in need or unable to afford fresh and healthy food options such as those that Flashfood provides. In 2022 alone, Flashfood saved more than 28 million pounds of food from reaching landfills and saved shoppers more than $56.2 million on their grocery bills.
I founded Flashfood eight years ago to address an ambitious, urgent problem in our food system. Then and today, I believe this problem is solvable and I am immensely optimistic about the future. I could not be more excited to hand the reins over to someone I have full confidence in—someone who I have worked alongside for almost a year and who has earned my trust.
