On this episode of Coffee with a Founder, Beck Bamberger sits down with Ofek Lavian, co-founder and CEO of Forage.
Forage is an EBT payments company helping low-income Americans access food through online platforms like DoorDash, Uber, and Shopify. What used to be an in-person, highly limited system is now becoming digital, unlocking access for millions of people living in food deserts or balancing multiple jobs.
The conversation dives into why that gap exists, what it takes to build in a highly regulated space, and how a venture-backed company can both scale fast and solve a deeply systemic problem.
If you’re into founder-led innovation tackling broken systems that impact millions, don’t miss this one.
