Zume Pizza raises $ 365 million to grow its business

In 2015, Zume Pizza started in just three years. The company recently closed a $ 365 million cycle run by Softbank to expand its business.

Zume Pizza is a state-of-the-art food company whose mission is to make healthy food fast and accessible. Zume's patented on-the-road cooking technology makes it the first company to successfully cook a pizza when it is delivered to the customer. This allows the pizza to arrive as fresh as possible and prevents the ingredients from containing sugar or harmful chemicals.

The company is headquartered in Mountain View, California, and has a team of humans and robots – robots, working together to create the safest environment possible for food production. Through its investment in automation, Zume Pizza sources 100% ingredients from local farmers who use sustainable farming practices and ethical farming methods. Unlike most food delivery companies, all workers in Zume benefit from fully subsidized health insurance.

Another interesting fact: Zume pizzas contain on average 40% fewer calories, half the fat and cholesterol of competing pizza makers.

Julia Collins, who has an MBA from Harvard and Stanford, is the co-founder of this company. She has not only worked tirelessly to build this business, but has also worked in her community to ensure that other young African Americans understand access to this type of success. She has devoted much of her personal time to organizations such as Black Girls Code and SheEO.

Although Zume started with pizza, the company wants to tackle other food categories and believes that this technology could work effectively with any type of food. The goal is to get the technology license at different restaurants so that they can implement the process themselves. If all goes as planned, it could mean a lot of scope for the company and explain why Zume was able to close such a big fundraiser.
