Listen "Hjalmar Ståhlberg Nordegren - Founder, Karma"
Episode Synopsis
Season 2 is officially here - and what an episode we have for you to kick off the new season!
Today, we have the pleasure of being joined by one of Europe's most ambitious and exciting entrepreneurs: Hjalmar Ståhlberg Nordegren. Hjalmar, who appears on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, is a Co-Founder of Karma, an exciting and innovative tech startup based out of Stockholm, Sweden that focus on providing consumers with amazing deals on food, helping retailers and suppliers to save on their food waste whilst also keeping revenue and also, making a huge impact on the planet by preventing excess food waste.
Originally starting as a wider deals platform, Karma quickly pivoted to focus on the food industry. When the founding team started to research just how big the issue of food waste actually is, they really started to pay attention. Food waste accounts for $1.3 Trillion per year and several billion tonnes of food are wasted each year. That results in huge Co2 emissions and makes a big dent to the planet.
Looking for the business opportunity, Hjalmar and the team realised huge potential to connect local restaurants and chains to the consumer, helping to not only reduce the amount of food waste, but also, by offering amazing value to consumers on unused food. Through the pandemic they have also developed a new product: the Karma Box, which allows people to receive amazing values on home deliveries of fresh fruit and vegetables.
So, not only are they helping to save the planet, but everyone gets a great deal out of it at every step of the food chain!
What an amazing guy and what an amazing business that we are so proud to help raise awareness of. Go and check them out if you haven't already!
