Everytable
Everytable is a Los Angeles-based, mission-driven food company that makes fresh, nutritious meals affordable and accessible to everyone. Built around a central commissary kitchen and small-footprint stores, subscriptions, delivery and refrigerated SmartFridges, the company prices meals by neighborhood - keeping food affordable in communities often treated as food deserts. Founded in 2016 by former Wall Street trader Sam Polk and ex-private-equity executive David Foster, Everytable is a public benefit corporation pioneering a Social Equity Franchise Program to build generational wealth for entrepreneurs of color.
Sam Polk
Sam Polk is the co-founder and CEO of Everytable, a Los Angeles social enterprise that sells fresh, scratch-made meals priced to what a neighborhood can afford. A former hedge fund trader who walked away from a multimillion-dollar Wall Street career, he chronicled that exit in the 2016 memoir 'For the Love of Money' and has since built Everytable into a food-justice company that has raised more than $100 million and distributed millions of affordable meals through grab-and-go stores, SmartFridges, and direct-to-consumer delivery.
