Today’s Startup of the Day is Guac.

Guac uses AI to accurately forecast demand for grocery retailers to reduce food waste and increase profits. Considering variables like the weather, regional events, and even Spotify data, the team builds custom algorithms to predict optimal order quantities for grocery items. Their customers also receive recommendations for shelf life and supplier lead times integrated into their preexisting ordering software.

Guac was founded by Euro Wang and Jack Solomon. They met at Oxford University as undergrads before Wang worked at Boston Consulting Group and Solomon researched AI for grocery logistics. They are both passionate about food waste and food security and founded Guac to tackle inefficiencies in the grocery system that are an impediment to both.
