Episode 223 | Inspired Go | Co-founder, Derek Rucki | 21 December 2020

Finding a fresh salad for lunch inspired Jon Karwacki to join with Derek Rucki to create “Inspired Go”, a tech enabled platform to order fresh salad — at work. When Covid hit, Derek and Jon found that their customers, although working from home, still needed to eat. That inspired them to change their method of ordering from text messages to a mobile-enabled app.  Two key partnerships ensure they have a reliable fresh food supply (via Star Produce) and timely delivery (via Routeique).  Entrepreneurial minded students from Mount Royal University (which Derek is an alumni), use of social media (Facebook and Instagram) and constant communication with customers (email and newsletters) appear to be recipe to scale across Canada (now in YYC, YVR and YXE)  §§§ To learn more about Inspired Go, click on one or more of the links below:  Inspired Go website | https://inspiredgo.ca/  Inspired Go on LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/company/inspired-go/  Inspired Go on Instagram | @inspired.go  Inspired Go on Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/inspired.go/  Derek Rucki on LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/derek-rucki-3481b447/  Jon Karwacki on LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-karwacki-4a49521a5/
