Every year, 200 million Europeans go through tax preparation hell. Its a needlessly complicated process that can scare the living daylights out of you (actual words from our customers). Let’s be honest . Doing taxes is a massive pain. While many other industries – from banking to transportation – have seen huge disruptions over the years, tax preparation has not. Were here to fix that. TaxScouts was founded in 2017 by early employees and alumni of Europe’s leading startups (TransferWise, Skype, MarketInvoice), and we are always on a lookout for like-minded people to join us. In 2020, we secured Series A funding and we now operate in both the UK and Spain. Were partnered with over 20 businesses from Monzo Business to Nutmeg to Airbnb who are all on a similar mission to ours of making the world of traditional finance simpler and more fair.

Feedr is the office food delivery platform serving Good Office Days, with taste-tested menus, baked-in flexibility and fuss-free ordering, tailored to you. Whatever the order of the day, mood-flipping good food should be part of it. In a world of work-from-wherever, Feedr delivers food that makes people happy to be in the office. Feeding teams is our specialty, not a side order. Why? Because we started life in the office. Slumped at desks, tired of humdrum high-street food, ordering-in admin and late deliveries with two vegan options lost on the way. It was time for hassle-and-miss to go off the menu. Today, Feedr delivers tasted-and-tested food fresh from local vendors. Easy on the admin. Low impact on the planet. All-out on flavour that brings everyone around the table. Team lunch on the boss, a one-off breakfast for 40, organising a pop-up for 500 – it’s a joy to be done. Smoother than a strawberry protein shake. Bright-side like rainbow slaw. Or going back for that plate of brownies. Share with the team, share a few out-of-office stories, and chances are you’ll share oomph for that afternoon meeting too. Food off your plate, ready to keep the other ones spinning. Feedr serves Good Office Days, just how you like it. For every meal you order, Feedr donates another to a child in need. With the help of our partner and non-profit foundation Akshaya Patra, we’ve had a positive impact on vulnerable children across the globe.
