Food is one of the hardest spaces that any founder can operate in. Food should be innovated upon, and we should be having many more services and products that make our life more delightful. But, we’ve seen more failures than successes here in Silicon Valley. Our guest today, Tovala founder and CEO, believes he will crack the space with his cloud-connected “smart oven” that cooks ready-made meals in under 30 minutes with the scan of a code and the touch of a button. In fact, Tovala is launching today, July 11. Join us as David shares his approach to funding and scaling, his thoughts on the Amazon and Whole Foods acquisition, how he defines success, and more.
