byFood

ByFood is a food platform with the slogan "ByFood is a food platform that connects people to delicious food experiences in Japan". The company, founded in 2019, aims to provide a complete gastronomical tourism experience. ByFood garners interest in potential customers by promoting restaurants, food, and food-focused experiences through social media. The platform allows travelers to easily access hundreds of local food experiences in Japan without a language barrier. Unlike traditional tours, ByFood's experiences enable travelers to engage personally with local restaurants, farms, fisheries, and breweries, creating profound and unforgettable memories. By focusing on local options, ByFood not only provides memorable experiences for customers but also helps bring in money and attention for regional revitalization, ultimately supporting local businesses. The company aims to maintain these connections long after travelers return home through an e-commerce platform. ByFood raised a significant $2.24M Series A investment on 19 April 2023, with notable investors including Kemuri Ventures, JTB Corp., PR Times, and VELTRA. Based in Japan, ByFood is revolutionizing the way travelers experience and engage with local food culture, presenting an attractive opportunity for venture capitalists.
