Thanks! Did you mean Sprig? Looked into them and came across this article: https://techcrunch.com/2017/05/26/on-demand-food-startup-spr... that speaks about other similar-models of startups closing as well.

And I agree - I think it's as difficult business model when there are so many other options for the general consumer to purchase from.

I'm currently really interested in food-tech, and how different models/channels/markets could allow for a startup that does end-to-end operations to be successful.

Yeah, Sprig -- muscle memory typo ;)

It's an interesting space, it's just all the moving pieces to do it profitably. I would try to talk to those guys about the macro issues if you're considering pursuing something in this space.
