Dillon said Imperfect's lower-price model resonates with value-driven consumers who are looking to save money during an economic downturn. Ed Yip of Norwest Ventures, which is also invested in Imperfect Foods, said the company is notable for its ability to pivot to meet grocery demand while staying committed to its charitable ventures that support nationwide food banks.
"During the COVID-19 pandemic, Imperfect Foods maintained deliveries to customers to ensure they get the groceries they depend on, while expanding their delivery windows to meet increased demand," Yip said. "COVID-19 brought a dramatic shift in the way that we shop for food and I think we'll continue to see consumers embrace delivery services like Imperfect Foods.
