Ask HN: Anyone tried a food-related startup?

I cannot remember ever purchasing food over the internet.

However, I have driven 30 or 40 miles to go to a speciality ethnic grocery store or farmer's market to get a specialty food I learned about over the internet.

Perhaps you should look into finding non-internet ways to sell your item, and then simply advertise on the internet.

I've started, grown, and sold a food startup - contact me privately if you'd like to know more about what I learned...

I'd love to hear about this. I'm fascinated by food and food business.

Will do. Thanks.

No, but I'm curious about it. What's your product? My guess is that the biggest hurdle is actually producing and certifying as safe whatever it is you're cooking up.

Organic snacks would be the general category.

Foodoro (a YC company) and Foodzie both do this.
