About Taro

Taro is the Y-Combinator of food entrepeneurs . Taro works with local chefs who pour their heart and soul into their food to create meals with a distinct character, but have limited opportunities to build and sustain their business. Many Taro Chefs don't have a restaurant - they are true food entrepreneurs who sell food directly to foodies. Taro Chefs are passionate about creating healthy, delicious dishes, and many specialize in “micro-cuisines” that aren’t found elsewhere. Taro enables these local chefs to create and grow their business by connecting them to new customers while automating marketing and operations.

Taro was born in Shivangi’s Aunt’s kitchen in Palo Alto where she found a great demand for local, authentic food. Taro became a reality because we have made it our mission to help people find the food that makes them happy. Join us in the food entrepreneurship revolution!
