Mobile Cooks, with a valuation cap of $3 million, is raising crowdfunding on Republic. The company is bringing all the contributing partners of the pop-up market model together to make the events easier and more profitable. It provides an alternative to vegan cooks to use local ingredients and to experiment with their menu. Mobile Cooks was founded by Matthew Kaplan in September 2018. The current round of crowdfunding has a minimum target of $25,000 and a maximum target of $1,070,000, and the proceeds will be used toward business management costs and kitchen managers’ salaries. Mobile Cooks is currently negotiating a lease for its first cloud kitchen and has already served more than 20,000 vegan meals in three months.
