Spoiler Alert

Food waste is a $750 billion global problem. Nearly 40% of food produced in the U.S. is thrown away, costing businesses $50 billion in lost revenue and waste hauling expenses. Increasingly, legislation across the country is 1) limiting commercial food businesses’ ability to send food waste to landfill, and 2) encouraging food donations through enhanced tax incentives. Spoiler Alert offers a collaborative, online platform and value-added services that enable food businesses, farms, and nonprofits to create or recover value from surplus food and organic waste. Our scalable technology platform: - Provides real-time capabilities to create and manage food donations, buy-sell transactions, and distribution networks; - Enables organizations to coordinate and simplify fulfillment; and - Offers the relevant accounting and reporting systems to capture tax benefits and document important financial, environmental, and social metrics. Born out of MIT in June 2015, Spoiler Alert was a 2015 winner of MassChallenge and is currently in the Spring 2016 cohort of Techstars Boston. More info is available at www.foodspoileralert.com.
