Innit Raises $25 Million to Unlock Information Within Food
Innit®, a new company that manages and connects food information, launched today at the Smart Kitchen Summit in Seattle with initial funding of over $25 million from founders and strategic investors. Innit unlocks and listens to the information within food through science, technology and culinary expertise. Through its cloud-based platform, Innit then connects food to appliances, devices and users in order to enhance how we select, prepare and cook food.
This Tech Startup Promises Salvation for Lousy Cooks
Your kitchen is about to get a whole lot smarter. In November, San Francisco-based food tech startup Innit emerged from stealth mode with an ambitious plan to transform the way food is stored, prepared, and cooked. Founded in 2013 by Eugenio Minvielle, former president and CEO of Unilever North America, and Kevin Brown, former CEO of data-storage company Coraid, the startup is partnering with kitchen appliance companies to make smart devices that let you cook food to perfection with the push of a button.
Inside the Kitchen That Listens to Food and Cooks by Itself
Innit has created a cooking system, built on machine learning and high-tech sensors, that can detect whatever it is you’re making for dinner and produce perfect results every time. And it doesn’t just cook chicken. We also had potatoes, gazpacho, and an apple tart, all equally delicious. For each food, it designs a cooking process optimized for your exact menu item. All you do is press play.
