The vendors pay very less commission comparative to the offline marketers, as Foodzie doesn’t warehouse the items it sells.
Funding
The platform raised $1 million in funding in Dec’08 from angel investors, led by First Round Capital and SoftTech VC, and is considering raising a follow-on round.
Future Plans
Foodzie is planning to add videos and other social networking features to allow buyers to communicate with the consumers. It helps in bringing the consumers closer to the people making and selling the food.
