Goldbelly

Goldbelly is an online marketplace for food products. Customers can order products from restaurants, bakeries, delis, etc. and have them shipped across the United States. The ordered food sometimes requires preparation and cooking.

The site was accepted into Y Combinator in 2013. Time magazine named Goldbelly one of the 50 Best Websites of 2013. In 2013, Goldbelly closed on $3 million seed funding led by Intel Capital.

According to one review, as some of the food is frozen, the experience can sometimes differ from the taste customers get at the restaurant.
