## About

Founded in 2020 by Grégoire Carlier, Sven Ripoche, and Claire Laurent, and based in Paris, France, Hors Normes is an anti-food wastage start-up that resells fruits and vegetables rejected by traditional retailers at a discounted price online.  In July 2022, Hors Normes raised EUR 7 million in Seed funding from new investors Project A Ventures and returning investor Stride.VC. As of July 2022, the company is operational in 125 towns across France.

The firm offers a platform for farmers who grow organic fruits and vegetables to sell directly to consumers when their yield is rejected by retailers due to the appearance of the fruits or vegetables or any other issue. These fruits and vegetables are thus sold in baskets at a lower cost than organic food available in supermarkets and other stores, thus allowing an income to the farmers while providing customers with access to affordable food and reducing food's overall carbon footprint.

The company intends to use the funding to expand its operation in new cities across France.
