We asked them how they felt to have been selected to take part.
"It is such an honour to be part of the AIB Start-up Academy. I was initially quite apprehensive about the program since we are all extremely busy developing new recipes & sourcing the fresh, healthy, quality ingredients for our customer’s dinners. The delivery of the first few weeks have been great and we are really looking forward to the rest of the program."
They have been gaining a lot of expertise and guidance along their journey with the Academy:
"So far it has been fantastic to have met such an interesting bunch of people, both the facilitators & participants are great to be around. I’m most looking forward to being able to look back on the program and see the progress that DropChef.com has made. We have taken a lot of advice and guidance so far so I’m looking forward to the next few weeks."
In terms of what makes their business stand out from the rest of the finalists, they believe that they have something special, because their business is mission driven.
