Jow CEO and co-founder Jacques-Edouard Sabatier elaborates: “A digital personal shopper, kitchen help, and life coach, Jow helps families eat well, and reduce cost as well as waste. Over 150 million meals have been prepared thanks to Jow, and each typically includes 25 per cent more fresh ingredients and 15 per cent less waste. We are extremely proud to offer families a way to eat better, reduce waste, and lighten the mental load of meal preparation.”

Northzone partner former co-founder at HelloFresh, Jessica Schultz adds: "Jow is the next evolution of meal kits and online super markets combined, which is a very attractive proposition. They are taking a software-only approach to meal planning and grocery shopping and by doing that they are improving the experience for both the consumer and the retailer. We have been so impressed by the Jow team and after seeing their success in France we are very excited to partner with them for their international expansion, starting with the US market."
