Being new in a country is difficult. Food is a great icebreaker, but how do you even enter these contexts in an effortless way?

At the same time, many brilliant chefs are overworked, underpaid and rarely recognized for their time and effort.

Stockholm-based foodtech startup Bestick wants to marry these two problems with a smooth solution. In their app, chefs can register to arrange food events on their own terms, while individuals can buy tickets to meet new people and experience amazing food.

Heja Framtiden has a paid collaboration with Stockholm Business Region and the initiative Stockholm ImpACT Days. We met Bestick founder and CEO Malika Kalitay during the Big Meet conference at Rosendals Trädgård.
