About the brand
Globally, more than 40 percent of the food we produce is wasted — and Knead Technologies is building the software that claws some of it back. Co-founded by CEO Lourdes Juan in Calgary in 2022, the company powers food-rescue operations for non-profits and, increasingly, for municipalities under pressure to hit climate and waste-diversion targets. Its platform coordinates recovery at city scale: connecting retailers, nonprofits and public stakeholders into a functioning redistribution network. As diversion policies tighten, Knead has positioned itself as the operating system for an entire emerging sector. It treats surplus food not as garbage but as logistics waiting to be optimized. It's climate infrastructure built by people who understand that feeding people is the most important industry on the planet.
