Zest believes that everyone should have the ability to cook food for the people that they love, including themselves. So we created a platform that actually creates a habit out of cooking, instead of leaving users scrambling from one meal to the next.

Valuation

Security Description

An equity crowdfunding specific version of a SAFE used by crowdfunding portal Republic. Upon conversion (if and when that happens), investors may receive special shares with limited rights that do not show up on a company’s cap table. The issuer may roll over and not convert shares at the next financing round causing investors to lose out on some upside.
