- ABOUT US -
MOXIE is a group-buy grocery delivery platform seeking to encourage healthy eating while also reducing waste in the grocery industry. As four women finding it increasingly difficult to purchase groceries without contributing to a growing plastic waste problem, MOXIE’s founders set out to develop a model to make low waste living more accessible.
MOXIE hypothesizes that, by delivering farm-fresh produce and dry goods directly to offices, it can make better dietary choices more convenient for working professionals and their families, while also reducing waste through the use of reusable packaging.
MOXIE seeks to provide an app that not only serves as a platform to order groceries, but is also a community space to educate customers on better eating habits, provide recipes to inspire diet change, and create a community around sustainable food choices.
