Episode description
- In this episode of Founders Unplugged, I sit down with Jack Clegg, founder and CEO of Platter, an all-in-one wholesale food platform.
- Jack grew up in the food wholesale industry, helping his father's business since he was young. After trying other careers like carpentry, he returned to food wholesale and saw an opportunity to digitize the industry. Platter connects buyers and suppliers through an online platform, bringing the outdated wholesale process into the 21st century.

- The challenges Platter faced during the COVID-19 pandemic and how they adapted
- Jack's experience as a delivery driver for Gorillas and the lessons it taught him
- The funding Platter recently received and their plans for future growth
- It was fascinating to learn about Jack's entrepreneurial journey and vision for modernizing this traditional industry. Tune in to hear his full story and insight into the opportunities emerging at the intersection of food and technology.
