Squeareat's fundraising on the Wefunder platform, already reached the minimum target (100,000 dollars) and new investors continue every day to believe in the project by bringing the company closer to the final goal of $700,000 dollars.

Squareat is an innovative startup created to revolutionize the "ready to eat" food industry.


How?

The answer is modular squared food.

Squareat's unique production chain allows the transformation of raw food into standardized 50-gram squares that are healthy, naturally long lasting, tasty and easy to store and deliver.

"We have experienced first-hand the inefficiencies of traditional meal plan services and have seen a clear possibility of disruption in bringing a complete transformation to a sector that is growing tremendously fast, introducing a brand-new concept. Thanks to the Squared shape we are able to run a mass production while using gourmet techniques. Thermal shocking conservation, low temperature cooking, and vacuum sealing packing allow us to produce superior quality food and sell it at an affordable price." Paolo Cadegiani, Founder and CEO of the company, explains.

The Squareat team is a combination of young and passionate entrepreneurs, high rated chefs, web developers, and designers with more than 10 years of experience in the industry.

For the first phase, the business is focused on a meal plan delivery service; a 6-billion-dollar market in the U.S. Their goal is to expand the distribution through different channels taking advantages of the versatile product's nature and its unlimited applications. It can be sold through vending machines, schools, universities, offices, supermarkets, gyms fridges or as airplanes meals. More investments will certainly accelerate this process bringing the company quickly to the next level.

"The market is currently booming, and no one has cracked the code yet, so we came out with a brand-new solution that could literally be the food of the future," Vincenzo Foglia, Co-founder and CCO of the company, explains.

Squareat's business model is predicted on scalability and margin controls, in fact, they will be able to deliver the food bi-weekly or monthly. Thanks to their unique structure they can keep all the operations completely unconstrained while keeping minimum staff on site. This combination will generate margins never seen before in the industry.

The campaign launched on Wefunder, the largest crowdfunding portal in the United States; aims to raise the funds allocating the investments both on developing a complete automatized production chain and the marketing campaign. This will result in a big production improvement while cutting costs significantly.

"We are happy to welcome Squeareat on our platform. The United States is a country full of opportunities with people open to a change. We can only wish them a successful campaign," said Nicholas Tommarello, CEO of wefunder.

healthy, naturally long lasting

Ironically these are the best buzzwords to attract soymen and deathfats...

 

[Fomo Hoire]

a modular, squared food item is a saltine cracker.

But soylent green is so much more revolutionary

The weirdest part is how they're only 1 thing. Like the "chicken". Does it just taste like boiled plain chicke? Strained (baby food) chicken? Flavored with seasonings? Who knows?

Looks nasty anyways. I thought they were little bite-sized pieces. Seeing the model holding the indeterminate square, yeah I'd be gagging trying to eat that.

And they are definitely lying about the ingredients. According to their list this:

has only "Asparagus, Salt, Black Pepper, Lemon". Bull. Shit. None of that would bind together in a brick without some kind of binding agent.

 

[OvercookedBacon]

Honestly, I'd try some. Live off them? No thanks.

 

[Harvey Danger]

Out of morbid curiousity, I went to look at their "meal boxes". Here's a standard one:


That's 2 chicken squares, 1 rice square, and 1 broccoli+spinach square.



So that's less than 1/4 pound of meat, plus 1.7 ounces each of rice and veggies. The page says it's 280 calories for the whole meal, which is slightly less than the calories for an average MRE entrée (which is why they pack full MRE kits with additional bread, dessert, and drink powder). Prior to Covid shortages, you could get individual MRE entrees for about $3; this box starts at $6.50 depending on which subscription plan you get.

Who is even the target market here? Rail thin zoomers who want snack-sized "meals", but also want higher quality ingredients than freeze dried meals, but also have 2x the income to support buying expensive options?

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

"the food concept"

Who the fuck are these weirdos? I won't try it solely because the kind of person that refers to "food" as "the food concept" is fucked in the head and cannot be trusted.

 

[melcarba99]

Lets us enjoy our fucking meals. I swear, our humanity will be sacrificed in the altar of fake efficiency.

 

[General Disarray]

I am getting flashbacks of that juice startup company with the proprietary juice packets and juicers that were overpriced as hell…

It is annoying though — in Star Trek TOS, they had cubed food just like this company is trying to make (partly why I’d like to try it for shits and giggles).

Ahh yes, Juicero.

Yep, I can see this going just as swimmingly.

Grab yourself some gelatin/aspic and you, too, can make as many disgusting pureed squares as you please. The housewives of the 50's made liberal use of this magical product, I imagine the taste would be similar to one of those abominations.

 

[Dysnomia]

No bug menu? pathetic

Give them time. We'll be told to eat the roach blocks just like in Snowpiercer. You will eat them. You will like them. You will beg for more.

Now I imagine the people who would benefit most will not be able to afford it. That's always the case with this stuff. It's just more crap for hipsters to waste money on.

Perfectly shaped, perfectly sized blocks of food.

This sounds incredibly autistic.

Indeed. This should definitely go in the most autistic foods thread.

I'm worried about the possible sodium content. A lot of these items I normally wouldn't salt.

I'd try it if you could buy individual meals. I'm mainly interested in what the rice square is like even though I can make onigiri way cheaper. I have very little hope for anything processed meat related.

If you could buy individual squares I'd get some rice and sweet potato. And the pancake square is gluten free. But it's cheaper to just get or make a gluten free mix. Unfortunately they picked the worst fucking sweetener on the planet for the pancake squares. Stevia.

It'll be a nice treat when the government tells my pod's food dispenser to give me a delicious FoodCube ration so I can have a break from Bug Patties and Garbage Juice.

 

[A-Stump]

I could see this being good food to stock vending machines with at say, hospitals. The (supposed) long shelf life, the uniform shape, and 'healthiness' of it would lend itself well to such a thing.

 

[Heather Mason]

Excuse my autism for a second but it seems like they only made a few actual bricks and then photoshopped them to look different. Are venture capitalists really this retarded? If a startup can't be bothered to properly make and show off their entire product line then why would I be bothered as an investor to give a shit? And how lazy do you have to be as a startup to pull this obvious bullshit?

[DamnWolves!]

Here's their menu

Most of this doesn't even look like food; what the fuck is wrong with California?

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

This food is retarded and shit.

 

[XANA]

So.... They invented a subscription delivery service of uber processed "raw" food bars. Food bars. Like jeez if you're hungry, grab a protein bar off a shelf or something. They last years and are not limoted to chocolates or nuts anymore. They even have bars if you have keto or atkins diet restrictions, or ones made out of fruit.

If you want to eat a tomato food bar from this company, eat an actual tomato. No need for this overpriced gimmick.

 

[DuckSucker]

Wasnt Caloriemate a real thing? Isnt this just another flavor of it, and maybe they used newer technology to make it something other than a crumbly, smudgy, mushy bar? From what I saw of them they looked like they had the texture of soggy dog kibbles somebody had left out to dry.

700k or whatever to try and reinvent the wheel.

 

[Potatoherder]

Not only did they steal it from Dilbert but they don't even use the superior name: Tomeato.

 

[Sweet and Savoury]

Look,

if it doesn't bleed when I cut into it, then its not food

Check back with me when your lab grown food feels pain, then I might be interested

the animal version is called headcheese.

caloriemate is shortbread but worse nutritionally. the flavour is whatever, chocolate is like nesquik coco mix in taste and texture.
