WHAT WE DO
At Shef, we are building a community-based food marketplace connecting local "shefs" and eaters.

We believe in providing shefs meaningful earning opportunities, and taking the burden out of mealtime for individuals and families.

We have raised over $100m from investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, Craft Ventures, and M13, as well as founders and executives from Instacart, TaskRabbit, StubHub, AngelList, Lyft, Airbnb, and Yelp.
