Virtual Kitchen Co, a San Francisco, CA-based food tech and logistics company focused on building delivery-optimized kitchens, raised $15M in Series A financing.
The round was led by Andreessen Horowitz and Base10 Partners, with participation from Rappi co-founder Sebastian Mejia, former Yelp SVP of Engineering Michael Stoppelman, Opendoor co-founder JD Ross, and Maple VC founder Andre Charoo. Andrew Chen from A16z and Adeyemi Ajao from Base10 will be joining the board.
The company, which has raised $17M to date, will use the funding to build new facilities, R&D, and hiring.
Founded by Andro Randonich, Ken Chong, and Matt Sawchuck, Virtual Kitchen Co provides a solution combining space, operations, and tech to allow restaurants to increase their delivery presence with minimal costs. With multiple delivery-optimized kitchens already in San Francisco, the company will open another dozen Bay Area facilities in the next six months.
