In addition to the accelerator programme, we also used Herd for our product development and first batch of production. We were able to develop our idea into a finished product including a brand. Above all, the feedback from the other start-ups on site was very helpful for our first product tests.

Thanks to the herd, all legal issues for our food truck are taken care of. In addition, we have a  scalable kitchen space with additional frigerated and dry storage, a car park with power supply and the possibility to efficiently prepare for our large events and caterings.

Founder, Rex Eat, Delivery/Food Service

Thanks to Herd, we were able to work with professional equipment from day one without a large investment and, with the increasing success of Rex Eat, we were able to scale our production on site from a few hundred glasses to many 1,000 glasses per week in an uncomplicated and steady way.

Since I only produce seasonally, I need to do it as efficiently as possible. Herd allows me to produce batches quickly and professionally whenever we need them, without having to rent or manage a kitchen all year round.

Building your own kitchen is a big risk and commitment. In conventional rental kitchens, you are usually only a "guest" with limited possibilities. At HERD, I have my own warehouse, can produce efficiently, pick my organic boxes and exchange information with colleagues.
