I am unbelievably excited to announce $50M+ in new contracts awarded to @OrdoSchools. While everyone else is showing off fundraises, we’re sharing our team’s massive growth in 2025, with MUCH MORE TO COME! Ordo is serving millions of fresh meals to students in 100+ schools across 18 states. We’re trusted by the best public, charter, private, and pre-schools nationwide. Our mission is simple. Fresh, whole scratch-made foods, locally sourced whenever possible. It’s good for kids, and it’s good for business. Less middle-men, more value on the plate. My favorite part is that Ordo is accessible by any community. We’re proudly serving the same fresh, whole menu to the 0.01% on both sides of the economic spectrum, for the same price (or less) than the frozen and processed stuff. We care a lot about this at home. Always have. More than most. My mother worked in the public schools on child nutrition education for over 40 years. My closest friends know that I’ve spent over a decade since dropping out of school (shoutout @thielfellowship) trying to build something people want. I can now say with confidence I still haven’t done this, but in my journey I may have discovered the real point: build something people need forever, and do it forever. Since starting the company I’ve had the pleasure of minting several millionaires. Some through stock, but also our chefs who are serving long-term government contracts through Ordo. This has been the most surprising and delightful thing. Today we’re a team of ~10 people. If you are looking to build something meaningful, please DM me. We’re hiring engineers and sales leaders, but I will consider special talent / roles, and yes we sponsor visas when possible. I look forward to hearing from you.

I’m beyond excited to announce that @ordoschools has been awarded a contract with Hillsborough City School District in the Bay Area! 🎉🎉
