March 2016
Hi there,
We've just wrapped up our first month at Techstars, and it's been four, full weeks of incredible learning and fantastic mentorship. Our team of seven (we just hired a new team member!) is working hard to make the Spoiler Alert platform even better, and we have some big news coming up in May!
On the industry news front, ReFED (Rethink Food Waste Through Economics and Data) released the first ever national economic study and action plan driven by over 30 major stakeholders committed to tackling food waste at scale. The roadmap outlines 27 action steps and lists Spoiler Alert as a leading solution for donation matching software.
