iFood is the biggest online restaurant marketplace for food ordering in Latam and one of the biggest in the world. The concept was idealized inside Disk Cook in 2006, and launched in 2011 with the investment of Warehouse VC. In 2012, Movile Internet invested and joined the group. In 2013 iFood was already the marked leader in the country with a growth rate much higher than any other player. After creating and bootstrapping the company, as the M&A head, I was responsible to merge with Just-Eat and to acquire 5 other companies in the segment. iFood was transformed to become the biggest Latam player and one of the best operated delivery platforms in the world. For sure one of the first Brazilian Unicorn!
