Yhangry (W22) is a marketplace for private chefs.
Yhangry is like Airbnb, but for finding a chef to cook for an event: Their birthday, a hen party or a family Christmas gathering.
We’re changing the lives of chefs:
- Chefs earn 3x more than working in a restaurant, whilst working fewer hours. E.g. Chefs working 60 hours per week can maintain the same income by just doing 1-2 private dining events per week.
- Chefs set their own prices, create their own menus - they get to cook what they love.
We are backed by Y Combinator (just like Airbnb, Coinbase, and other unicorns) and featured on Dragons’ Den.
Why this is a great time to join?
- 📈 We grew 8x in the past 2 years.
- 💰 We raised $4m in funding from institutional and angel investors.
- 🔥 We have hit breakeven which is extremely strong for a high growth, early stage startup.
- 💪We are a small but mighty team 5 people based in London: You’ll be working closely with the founders and engineers and have a lot of ownership.
