Sekilo
Sekilo is a Jakarta-based B2B company building an AI-powered halal protein supply chain for Indonesia's foodservice industry, starting with poultry. Formerly the quick-commerce grocery startup Dropezy (YC W22), it pivoted in 2023 to process and distribute chicken to caterers, restaurant chains, industrial buyers, and processed-meat factories. Sekilo unifies procurement, processing, cold chain, and delivery into a single asset-light operating layer, handling custom orders from 25kg for small caterers up to 10-20 tons for large buyers.
Wholesail
Wholesail is a San Francisco fintech building the accounts receivable platform for the food and beverage supply chain. It helps food and beverage distributors onboard customers, automate collections, manage credit risk, and accept ACH and card payments so they get paid faster while keeping customer relationships intact. Founded by ex-OpenTable product and engineering leaders, the company targets the largely paper-driven, trillion-dollar US food distribution market.
Eli Chait
Eli Chait is the Co-Founder and CEO of Wholesail, a San Francisco-based B2B payment risk management platform modernizing accounts receivable for food and beverage distributors. His origin story is unusually grounded: at age 12, he was entering invoices for his father's restaurant in Los Angeles. That early hands-on encounter with the pain of paper-based B2B trade became the north star for his entire career - from co-founding Copilot (a restaurant analytics startup acquired by OpenTable) to leading Wholesail through a $22.6M Series A. With a team of repeat entrepreneurs forged at OpenTable, Wholesail is building the credit and payments network for the $1+ trillion US food distribution market.
