CLUSTER FOOD-SURPLUS-WASTE · 13 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2015-12-08
Surplus food discount marketplaces
A cluster of web and mobile apps that connect food businesses with consumers to sell surplus or unsold food at discounted prices, often as surprise packages or pickup orders, to reduce waste. The dated history before the index start is too thin to read a shape from—only 4 dated entries exist, so the cluster's early growth is not visible. Traction leaders by activity signal are foodbite-web, yepaket, and Food_Bridge, in that order.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
