Goldbelly is a curated online marketplace for regional and artisanal foods crafted by local food purveyors throughout the United States....Founded as 'Goldbely' by Joe Ariel, the company began its operation from a townhouse in Noe Valley in San Francisco with a four-person team of Ariel, Trevor Stow, Vanessa Torrivilla and Joel Gillman.[5][6][7][8] The site accepted into Y-Combinator in 2013.[9] Time Magazine named Goldbelly one of the 50 Best Websites of 2013.[10] In 2013, Goldbelly closed on $3 million seed funding led by Intel Capital.
In 2017 the company moved its headquarters from San Francisco to New York City.[13] In October 2018, the company changed their name from Goldbely (with one L) to Goldbelly (with two Ls), raised $20 million in Series B funding led by Enlightened Hospitality Investments, the fund formed by Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group, and had Danny Meyer join the company's advisory board.
Meyer was born and raised in a reform Jewish family in St. Louis,[1] where he attended John Burroughs School. As a child Meyer attended Camp Nebagamon for boys in Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin. During college Meyer worked for his father as a tour guide in Rome and then returned to Rome to study international politics. Meyer was a Brother of Alpha Delta Phi while at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. After graduating from Trinity in 1980 with a degree in political science,[2] Meyer worked in Chicago as Cook County Field Director for John Anderson's 1980 independent presidential campaign.
In 1985, at age 27, Meyer opened his first restaurant, Union Square Cafe.[4] Meyer's other restaurants and businesses include Gramercy Tavern, Blue Smoke and Jazz Standard, Shake Shack, The Modern, Cafe 2 and Terrace 5 at MoMA, Maialino at the Gramercy Park Hotel, Untitled at the North End Grill, Marta, Porchlight, GreenRiver, Union Square Events, and Hospitality Quotient.[5] Union Square Events, USHG's catering division, operates several concessions at major sports facilities including Citi Field, Saratoga Race Course, and Nationals Park.
In 2010, Meyer suffered his first restaurant closure, Tabla. In a statement, Meyer blamed the closure on the specificity of the Indian cuisine offered by the restaurant. [7] That same year, Meyer participated in a documentary called "The Restaurateur".[
Meyer has served on the boards of Share Our Strength and City Harvest.[19] In addition, he served as Co-Chair of the Union Square Partnership for 5 years[20] and as an executive committee member for NYC & Co and the Madison Square Park Conservancy.
