https://www.uchoozelunchbox.com/ Uchooze Lunchbox is a company behind Leslie Godwin's (founder and CEO) idea to help solve the painful task parents have at the time of packing school lunches. A simple task like that has more than shopping, prepping, and packing. The health of kids is essential for their development; therefore, the right nutrition is needed. 11.6 million kids bring a home-packed lunch to school every day in the US, and 50% of that lunch, mainly the nutritious and healthy part, is thrown away or returned to home untouched. Based on our 3-week beta test, Uchooze Lunchbox is changing that by empowering kids to select what they want to eat with the use of technology and innovative ideas.Since August of 2017, we have worked in the process of validating the idea to develop a Lean Startup. In January of 2018, we incorporated as an LLC. I have taken the lead in the technology development and user experience, leading to great relationships with a developing company in the area. In addition, I also took the lead in the financial requirements, modeling the financial projections and working on the pro forma financial statement to help us find investors that are interested in the idea and the possibility of a high return on investment in the near future. So far, the company has received part of the initial seed investment required to start the technology development and production by the second quarter of 2018, and we are still seeking investors for the remaining capital needed. We are working tediously on this, and are highly confident we will achieve our goals this year.
