History
Founded as "Goldbely" by Joe Ariel, the company began its operation from a townhouse in Noe Valley in San Francisco with a four-person team of Ariel, Trevor Stow, Vanessa Torrivilla, and Joel Gillman.[4][5][6][7] The site was accepted into Y Combinator in 2013.[8] Time magazine named Goldbelly one of the 50 Best Websites of 2013.[9] In 2013, Goldbelly closed $3 million in seed funding led by Intel Capital.[10][11]
In 2017, the company moved its headquarters from San Francisco to New York City.[12] In October 2018, the company changed its name from Goldbely (with one L) to Goldbelly (with two Ls), raised $20 million in Series B funding led by Enlightened Hospitality Investments, the fund formed by Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group, and had Danny Meyer join the company's advisory board.[13] In the same year, it acquired its competitor, FoodyDirect.[14]
In 2021, Goldbelly announced that it raised $100 million in new funding. 400 new vendors were added to Goldbelly's offerings at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.[15]
