Vallarta Supermarkets
A family butcher shop became a regional grocery chain by treating tortillas, carne asada and pan dulce as infrastructure - not ethnic-aisle decoration. Forty years later, Vallarta is carrying that fresh-food system beyond California.
Krave Mart
Krave Mart is a Karachi-based quick-commerce grocery startup that delivers everyday household essentials from a network of neighborhood dark stores, typically in 30 minutes. Founded in 2021 and part of Y Combinator's Summer 2022 batch, it raised what was then Pakistan's largest pre-seed round and built its model around sustainable unit economics and private-label products rather than pure delivery speed. In 2026 it was acquired by ride-hailing company inDrive to power grocery delivery inside inDrive's app.
BJ's Wholesale Club
BJ's Wholesale Club is a leading operator of membership warehouse clubs in the eastern United States, offering members up to 25% savings on groceries, fresh food, household essentials, general merchandise, and fuel through a paid-membership model. Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Marlborough, Massachusetts, the company runs more than 250 clubs and 190-plus gas stations across roughly 20 states, blending bulk warehouse value with everyday grocery frequency, private-brand depth, and a fast-growing digital and same-day delivery business.
Segari
Segari is an Indonesian e-grocery company that sources fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and staple goods directly from farmers and delivers them to urban households in the Greater Jakarta area, typically within 15 hours from farm to table. Founded in 2020, it combines a direct-to-consumer app with a network of neighborhood agents who acquire customers and handle last-mile delivery, aiming to cut out the many layers of Indonesia's traditional agricultural supply chain so consumers get fresher produce at lower prices and farmers get fairer returns.
Shipday
Shipday is a cloud-based, AI-powered delivery management platform that lets small and medium-sized businesses - restaurants, grocers, pizzerias, florists, couriers and e-commerce sellers - run their own local deliveries without paying gig-economy commissions. It combines dispatch automation, route optimization, a driver mobile app, real-time branded tracking, proof of delivery and AI agents for customer communication, and connects to third-party fleets like DoorDash and Uber for overflow. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Menlo Park, California, Shipday serves more than 6,000 businesses across 100+ countries and has powered over 30 million deliveries.

David Arrambide
David Eduardo Arrambide Montemayor is the co-founder and CEO of Calii, a full-stack grocery delivery platform disrupting the $1 trillion Latin American grocery market. A Stanford-trained engineer and Y Combinator alum (W19), he co-founded Calii in 2019 alongside Maurizio Caló Caligaris to deliver ultra-fresh produce and 5,000+ products in under two hours via a network of micro-fulfillment centers in Mexico. By cutting out middlemen and automating the food supply chain end-to-end, Calii offers prices at or below Walmart while reducing food waste by up to 3x. The company raised a $22.5M Series A in January 2022, co-led by Dalus Capital and JAM Fund, with backing from Forerunner Ventures, Streamlined Ventures, Y Combinator, and Base10 Partners, bringing total funding to nearly $35 million.
