A startup called The Rounds is focused on delivering and refilling weekly household essentials with no-waste packaging at only $10 with no additional fees.
The promising startup was started in 2019 by co-founders, Byunwoo Ko and Alexander Torrey. It has recently obtained $24 million in a Series B funding round with investors such as Construct Capital, First Round Capital, Pear VC and more.
The Rounds: What the startup provides
The Rounds takes care of its customers’ weekly grocery runs by offering weekly grocery and household bundles. These bundles can contain anything from household essentials to food items. The products delivered to customers are all curated and quality has been assured. Local favourites such as the town’s best baked goods to the freshest produce from the markets are included in these bundles.
Customers of The Rounds can also direct the service with the frequency of their bundle restocks. They can customise their delivery schedules. The customers are also allowed the option of purchasing items only once. This means the customers can skip out on restocking the item in time before the next scheduled delivery.
The Rounds makes use of eco-friendly packaging methods by reusing containers instead of one-use bags. The company has stated that it has saved up 50 lbs of packaging waste yearly. They even take care of the customers’ composting and recycling, thus driving in the eco-friendly motto.
The Virginia-based startup is only available to specific markets in the United States namely Philidelphia, Atlanta and DC. The Rounds does plan on expanding its market base as early as 2025.
