Building systems that gracefully degrade instead of failing.

Breadbasket is building infrastructure to turn urban food chaos into a resilient, intelligent network. The core technical direction is proven, and we're now in the proof-of-concept stage—focusing on demonstration, learning, and validation with our founding team.

We're starting with bread: it's consumed everywhere, logistics are genuinely complex, and the urgency in growing cities is immediate. Each city teaches us how to make the next one work better. Every deployment strengthens the system and the network compounds value across cities.

Breadbasket is now forming its founding team in London: an operator to lead the venture, and a domain expert to guide its real-world integration.

Join us. Help build the learning network that feeds the world.

Founding Team Roles

We're seeking two co-founders:

  • Co-Founder & Operator—experienced in scaling tech products and operations; lead business growth, partnerships, and market expansion (see role details below)
  • Co-Founder & Domain Expert—deep expertise in urban food systems, logistics, or infrastructure; shape product strategy and validate deployment opportunities (see role details below)

Co-Founder & Operator

We've solved the core technical problem: how to translate physical infrastructure variability into a programmable, optimisable, learning network. We have a reference model that proves the architecture works—industrial-scale production combined with decentralised last-mile distribution, coordinated by a single intelligent infrastructure.

We're seeking an experienced operator to join our technical founder and lead the company through its scaling phase. Your role: drive business growth, build strategic partnerships with city operators and logistics networks, and shape the commercial strategy that makes our infrastructure indispensable across markets. You'll combine tech-sector scaling expertise with the ability to navigate complex stakeholder ecosystems.

Who We're Looking For

  • Proven track record in scaling tech—you've grown a product company or built B2B partnerships at scale
  • Operational excellence—you understand how to move from zero to multiple live deployments
  • Stakeholder management—comfort navigating complex, multi-party ecosystems (governments, operators, logistics networks)
  • Think in systems and networks—you grasp how network effects compound and why the second city is more valuable than the first
  • Can build and lead teams—recruit exceptional people around a compelling vision
  • Driven by impact, not just growth—you're solving food security; growth is the means, not the end

Co-Founder & Domain Expert

We've built the technical infrastructure. Now we need deep expertise in urban food systems to shape product strategy, validate deployment opportunities, and guide the company through real-world complexity. If you understand the challenges of feeding cities—production, logistics, last-mile distribution, informal networks—and want to embed that expertise into scalable systems, this is the role.

Who We're Looking For

  • Deep expertise in urban food systems—you understand production, distribution logistics, or last-mile operations at city scale
  • Proven ability to operate in complex environments—emerging markets, informal networks, or hybrid formal/informal systems
  • Strategic thinking across systems—you see how infrastructure, supply chains, and demand connect and compound
  • Ability to translate domain expertise into product decisions—you can work with engineering teams to guide infrastructure strategy and requirements
  • Strong networks in the space—relationships with operators, logistics providers, or city stakeholders
  • Passionate about solving the problem—you believe this infrastructure can meaningfully improve urban food systems

What You'd Be Building

  • Infrastructure with genuine network effects—each deployment improves all others
  • The adaptive routing and logistics engine that learns from real-world movement
  • Orchestration systems that bridge heterogeneous infrastructure (legacy equipment, informal networks, modern automation)
  • An operating system connecting production, energy, logistics, and demand across 50+ cities
  • A company with defensible technical advantage and compounding returns through network learning

What We Offer

  • Meaningful co-founder equity—you own what you build
  • A technical foundation that solves a real, urgent problem
  • Reference deployment proving the architecture works
  • A market with genuine network effects—early deployments unlock value for later ones
  • A problem that compounds—the more cities in the system, the smarter it gets for all
  • A chance to build infrastructure that feeds millions
