Chewymoon

Chewymoon Limited operates in the children's food sector, focusing on the delivery of nutritionally-balanced snack boxes through a subscription model. The company was founded by a group of parents, including Lijo Jose and nutritionist Verena Klanner, to address the challenge of finding healthy yet appealing snacks for children. They launched a prototype in January 2017, gathering customer feedback from over 5,000 orders before relaunching at the end of that year.

The core of Chewymoon's business is a direct-to-consumer, customizable subscription service targeting parents of children aged 3 to 10. Customers can personalize snack boxes based on their child's age, activity level, and taste preferences, with options to exclude allergens like dairy or gluten. The service leverages technology, including a planned AI-powered chat bot, to provide tailored nutritional advice and personalize snack selections. The business generates revenue through weekly or bi-weekly subscription fees, with different price points for varying box sizes. By June 2018, the company had fulfilled over 25,000 orders, demonstrating significant early-stage traction.

The product consists of pre-portioned, 100% natural snacks with no refined sugars, developed by nutritionists and taste-tested by a panel of children. Offerings include a mix of sweet and savory items like cocoa flapjacks, cheese and baguette combos, and organic coconut chips. Each delivery is themed and includes supplementary items such as activity sheets, comics, and collectible cards to enhance engagement. This gamified approach aims to make healthy eating a fun experience. The company has also incorporated a social impact element by partnering with Mary's Meals to donate a meal for every box delivered. Following a successful crowdfunding campaign in 2018 which raised over £369,000, Chewymoon planned to expand its online growth and enter the retail market.
