About

Kune, a foodtech startup, has ceased operations, resulting in the layoff of its entire 90-person team. The company, which had grown to serve over 6,000 customers, was forced to shut down due to unsustainable business conditions. Despite selling more than 55,000 meals since the beginning of the year, pricing meals at $3 proved insufficient to cover rising food costs and maintain margins. Additionally, the current economic downturn and tight investment markets prevented Kune from securing its next funding round, ultimately leading to its closure. The founder expressed deep regret and is assisting the displaced employees in finding new opportunities while exploring the sale of the company's intellectual property and assets.
