They came with their product: all the ingredients needed to cook a meal worthy of a 2-star restaurant.

To give you a hand, the package comes pre-cut and pre-peeled.<\/p>\n<p>The startup was co-founded by\u00a0<a href=\"Charlotte Sieradzki \" target=\"_blank\">Charlotte Sieradzki <\/a>and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pub\/joy-solal\/19\/4b2\/423\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joy Solal<\/a>, both marketing majors passionate about good food. They are convinced that more and more people are concerned with the quality of their meals, yet only a few of them know how to get inspiration for recipes and ingredients. Since their launch in March 2013, they got a 55% fidelity rate.\u00a0Their round of funding, led by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elaia.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elaia Partners<\/a> and a few business angels, should enable them to recruit, optimize their web infrastructure and logistics and grow outside their test phase.<\/p>\n<p>The French market already counts a good number of &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/kelbox.net\/tag\/food-box\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Food boxes&#8221; <\/a>(like La Bonne Box or Kitchen Trotter), yet Charlotte Sieradzki declares: &#8220;CookAngels has nothing to do with Food Boxes. It is more than an occasional experience, it&#8217;s an addictive concept that aims at becoming a true &#8220;Art de Vivre&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I met the CookAngels team a few months ago at a dinner hosted by the Family, the Paris-based startup accelerator.
