To live permanently on our planet, we need to transition to a food system that is transparent and regenerative.</li> <li>🌱&nbsp;<strong>Vision</strong>: Permanent is making the marketplace under our future food system. We&rsquo;re a Public Benefit Corporation aiming to represent the world&rsquo;s agricultural supply and help the world transition $1T of food spend.&nbsp;</li> <li>🌎&nbsp;<strong>Market:</strong> Over $1T USA wholesale food spend, and $6T globally. We&rsquo;re focused on fresh fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms to start.</li> <li>💸&nbsp;<strong>Traction</strong>: In just the past 12 months, we grew from $0 to a $3M GMV run-rate, generated new sales for 30+ organic, mid-sized California farmers by selling 50+ produce items, built a dynamic crop calendar and marketplace, and earned customers from Sodexo to Sweetgreen.</li> <li>📊&nbsp;<strong>Up Next:</strong> In 2024-2025, we aim to grow 300&ndash;500% again. Our goal is $10M GMV run-rate (moving $200,000 of food per week in California &amp; Western USA).&nbsp;</li> <li>👬 <strong style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">Team</strong><span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">: </span><a style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/wileywebb/">Wiley</a><span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;"> (Founder &amp; CEO), Dave (Sales), Alfie (Product).
