Planet Table

The company's stated mission involved leveraging big data analytics to optimize supply and demand, with the ultimate goal of minimizing food wastage. This approach sought to provide farmers with better market access and restaurants with a more transparent and efficient procurement process. Over its operational history, Planet Table attracted significant investor interest, securing approximately $11.5 million in total funding across three major rounds. Its first funding was received in early 2010, followed by a Series A round and a subsequent Series B round in September 2016, which raised $4 million. Key institutional investors included Daiwa Securities Group, SBI Investment, CyberAgent Capital, and Credit Saison. Despite its efforts to disrupt the traditional food supply chain, the company ultimately ceased operations and is now considered deadpooled as of early 2022.
