Chefs can easily onboard and outsource logistics to HomeCooks. Customers choose from hundreds of meals that are delivered to their door. HomeCooks has grown quickly, now with over 6,000 customers and 100 active chefs. It aims to expand across the UK and eventually globally, addressing problems with the current at-home food industry.

Mapme Investor Deck.
The deck we originally used to raise our seed round of $1M. See the progress we've made at www.mapme.com. Welcome to try it out and create a map.
Any questions? I'm at ben@mapme.com
This is a rough draft of our pre-seed pitch deck. We received a lot of great feedback on it, and in hindsight, would have included many more screens of our early product in the deck. Regardless, we were successful in raising $1M in Seed funding and hopefully it's useful to other entrepreneurs as a reference point!
Ladder - "crown jewel" of insurtech nabs $100MPitch Decks
Ladder uses a tech-driven approach to offer end-to-end life insurance through a digital platform that it believes is more flexible, faster, and cost-effective than traditional providers. Ladder's flexible term life insurance can save policyholders up to 40%, using an all-digital architecture and real-time underwriting to make life insurance as accessible and affordable.
Thomvest Ventures and OMERS Growth Equity led a $100 million Series D financing for Ladder. The fintech startup currently has just under 100 employees, with plans to roughly double that number over the next year (primarily in engineering) using this fresh growth capital. Notably, Ladder's customers are 15 years younger on average comparted to those of incumbent service providers — approximately 75% of Ladder's customers are first-time life insurance buyers.
Here is the 12-slide pitch deck Ladder used to securing $100 million from leading growth & venture capital firms:

We are a plant-based butcher shop which means we butcher beans, veggies, herbs and spices to create a variety of delicious, organic, plant-based meat. You can come into our shop and get your plant-based meats and cheeses pre-packaged, or chopped up and served by weight.
We got our start at the Denman Island Farmer's Market. From there, we expanded to Victoria opening the first vegan butcher shop on the west coast of Canada. We had over 1000 people show up for opening day and had to shut down for a week afterwards just to restock everything. Since then we've been struggling to keep up with demand for our products. We launched a Kickstarter last summer to help us expand and raised $64,000 from 700 different backers. We used that money to expand into a bigger space where we significantly increased production as well as our product lineup.
Our objective at The Very Good Butchers is to produce organic, wholesome, real food without tricks or gimmicks. We want to make healthy planet-friendly meat alternatives that are accessible to omnivores, vegetarians and vegans. We are an inclusive company that wants to provide wholesome food for everyone to enjoy. We are currently unable to produce enough product to meet demand. We are looking for capital to help scale up our business and increase our production capacity.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

order the ingredient they need.

HomeCooks scales chefs up
slowly - we only order what we
know will sell.
Frozen Storage:
Food is stored under frozen
conditions, increasing shelf life
and reducing wastage likelihood.
Small Batch Cooking:
Chefs batch cook 1-2 dishes at a
time, so ingredient ordering is
easy and efficient.
£1bn+ food wasted in the UK food service industry per year.
The HomeCooks supply chain is designed to produce zero food waste:
A typical restaurant will see 5% of their food costs wasted due to operational inefficiencies.

This powerful and robust network effect increases the
defensibility and fast scalability of the model.
18. We are building social features to further increase
defensibility, engagement and virality.

menus empowering them
to build a local brand.
Eaters explore a wide variety
of menus and order food to
be delivered to their door.
Eaters and chefs can directly
message each other and interact
with community content.
Eaters can view what other
people in their community are
ordering, influence and engage
with them.

24. Social Impact
EMPOWERING CHEFS: The food delivery economy is mainly powered by
minimum wage workers. Long hours, zero-hour contracts, and poor
working conditions are rife. We turn this on its head, by allowing chefs to
make more money working from home and doing what they love.
NO LONGER A MAN’S WORLD: According to the ONS 17% of chefs in
professional positions are female. Professional kitchens are notoriously
a male-dominated environment but at HomeCooks 70% of our chefs
are female.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOOD ENTREPRENEURS. It is often capital
and time-intensive to launch a food concept. Even most dark kitchen
opportunities cost money. At HomeCooks, any food entrepreneur,
regardless of background, can launch their food business with almost no
upfront costs or commitments.
CONNECTING LOCAL COMMUNITIES: HomeCooks isn’t just about buying
and selling food. We bring communities together - like-minded foodies,
local chefs and other local businesses. Through the power of the
community, we’ve seen some amazing local social efforts launch. From
sending meals to vulnerable people, to raising money for local school
events, to supporting/ helping the chefs themselves.
COMPOSTABLE PACKAGING: We require all our chefs to use compostable
and recyclable packaging (we have a deal in place with BioPack to supply
them).
ZERO FOOD WASTE: Our chefs inherently waste less food than a
traditional on-demand food business due to orders and volumes being
known a few days in advance. Our frozen storage solutions means that
much less food is wasted in comparison with traditional food operations.
