In My Kitchen is a platform that aims to bring together a network of professional and semi-professional chefs to sell their signature dishes and recipes online. The platform was founded in July 2020. In My Kitchen asserts that its business model holds precedence in a time where takeaways have grown in popularity in the UK because of COVID-19. It gives many chefs who have become unemployed or have fewer shifts for developing their creativity and skills whilst allowing them to earn through the gig-economy. The company has a network of more than 70 chefs across London, with backgrounds across a range of cuisines. With the investment received, the company will develop its team and company infrastructure.

A taxi and on-demand delivery service using electronically assisted, high-tech cargo bikes to offer a cleaner, faster and cheaper means of transportation. Pedal Me uses highly trained riders within London to carry almost any load, including two adults, which can all be booked through their app.
Between October 2017 and September 2018, Pedal Me generated revenues of more than £125k. They will be allocating investments towards increasing efficiency and improving pickup times.
Funds in this round will be used to add more bikes, riders and use smarter technology. Pedal Me aims to have more than 30 bikes within a 3-mile radius from the city centre. This will result in reducing pickup times to less than 8 minutes from a booking being placed. In addition, the company will 'stack' delivery jobs, which means one rider will be able to carry out multiple orders in a single journey and will therefore allow Pedal Me to keep prices down for customers. Future plans include expanding the service to the rest of the UK and overseas.
