About us:

At Saltz, we believe the all the ingredients kitchens need should be available in one marketplace. For too long, the culinary world has been tangled in a web of distributors and hidden costs, separating chefs from the producers who make their work possible. We’re changing that.

We empower chefs to discover and source an incredible variety of fresh ingredients, from local farms to international craftsmen, with complete transparency. For producers, we unlock a global market overnight. An oyster farm can join Saltz today and be selling to hundreds of restaurants across six countries by tomorrow. That’s the power of our platform.

We are a VC-backed, fast-growing startup, and we’re unapologetically ambitious. Our vision is to connect thousands of suppliers with thousands of chefs across hundreds of cities, creating a new, efficient, and transparent ecosystem for fresh food.

We’re not for everyone. We’re for the entrepreneurs, the builders, and the optimists who excel when the recipe playbook is still being written.
