About
Cookin launched in Toronto in 2022 as a marketplace where home cooks and chefs could sell what they cook, plus the software to run that as a business — listings, orders, payments and delivery. It raised from Relay Ventures, Mistral Ventures and Sobeys, with angels including Wealthsimple's Michael Katchen and Resy's Ben Leventhal. CookUnity, the US chef-made meal delivery company, acquired it in an all-stock deal that closed in November 2024 and was announced that December; the 20-person team stayed, and co-founders Morley Ivers and Michael Baruch kept their roles while also leading CookUnity's Canadian expansion. Baruch told the growth story at TechTO Together in February 2024.
Backers
Relay Ventures led, with Mistral Ventures and Sobeys, plus angels including Michael Katchen (Wealthsimple), Ben Leventhal (Resy) and chef Patrick Kriss. BetaKit reported $14.8M raised across pre-seed and seed. Acquired by CookUnity in an all-stock deal closed November 2024.
