Foodzie.com Gobbles Up Adam Sah From Google

Posted by foodiebuddha on December 11, 2009

It’s been roughly a year since I last mentioned Foodzie.com.  In that time, the site has grown the point where it is now capable of making headlines beyond our little food community.  The site, which is tagged as an online specialty shop for food, just made a big splash by hiring Adam Sah.  The name won’t mean a lot to many around these parts, but this is an interesting hire.  Sah, who has been enlisted as the VP of Engineering, cut his teeth working for internet behemoth Google.  If you use iGoogle or any of the Gmail gadgets, then you have Sah to thank.  After all, he’s the man behind Google Gadgets.  Though that might not impress every technophile you come across, it is still a noteworthy accomplishment.

This is the result of tremendous growth from Foodzie.  In the year previous, they went from 25 vendors to 250.  Also notable is their branded partnership with The Atlantic, that really kick ass website.  I’ll be curious to see what a guy like Sah will serve up for Foodzie.

Foodzie.com Gets More Serious, Dr. Evil Rejoices! 1

Dr. Evil

Foodzie.com, a Boulder, Co. based company, defines itself as a specialty food marketplace. It allows small, boutique growers and producers to sell direct to customers through a centralized market place (Think Amazon for food). Though I have yet to purchase something from them, their list of available goods has grown considerably since the site launched. According to this post on technoloy superblog TechCrunch, they have just raised $1 Million dollars in funding. Check it out and let me know if you order anything!
