Challenges
The biggest challenge up to this point has to be understanding the food supplementation ecosystem. We’ve conducted dozens of interviews with food banks and pantries. Overall, through the time researching it has been a fun challenge determining our MVP features to maximize initial impact.
The Future
We are currently developing the MVP for Bag/Get and working with Larta Institute to run a pilot of our software. Stay tuned for any future updates relating to Bag/Get on our website or on LinkedIn.
