Foodsmart: Revolutionizing Telenutrition and Food Benefits

Foodsmart, a San Francisco-based telenutrition company, is making waves in the industry with its innovative approach to addressing chronic disease and food insecurity. With a recent funding of USD200M from The Rise Fund, Foodsmart is poised to expand its reach and impact even further. Founded in 2010 by CEO Jason Langheier, Foodsmart offers personalized and affordable healthy eating options to over 2.2 million members through partnerships with health plans, providers, and employers. By combining virtual nutrition counseling with a digital food benefits management platform, Foodsmart empowers individuals to plan personalized meals, order quality food, apply for SNAP benefits, and learn how to buy good food affordably. The company's Foodscripts program, launched earlier this year, allows primary care providers to prescribe tailored meals to patients, leading to improved health outcomes and cost savings for health plans. Through partnerships with leading health systems like Samaritan Health Services and Memorial Hermann Health System, Foodsmart is making a tangible impact on the lives of millions of individuals facing food insecurity and chronic diseases. With the support of The Rise Fund, Foodsmart is set to enhance its technology, expand its network of dietitians, and further develop its foodscripts capabilities to reach even more underserved populations. The investment not only validates Foodsmart's mission but also underscores the company's position as a category leader in the evolving landscape of telenutrition and food benefits management.
