Our story
Kookxtra may look like a marketplace, but it began with a hard question: why is validation so hard—and so expensive—for founders? We once paid €12,000 to an agency for "validation." We got clicks and forms, not customers. No proof. Founders don't need opinions; they need orders. So we built a better way.
We launched for home chefs, grocers, bakers, and caterers and—without funding or ads—grew by community: €800k GMV in 18 months, 35k+ users, 170 chefs, 80% repeat orders. That proved it: connect authentic creators to real demand and momentum follows.
The deeper insight: our value wasn't food or grocery—it was the setup-and-validation loop we solved. Now we're building it for everyone: an AI-assisted, no-code launchpad that spins up a brand kit, pricing, and a VAT-ready storefront in minutes, plugs in payments, delivery, and reviews, and offers one-click publish to our iOS/Android marketplace—so real buyers order day one and give feedback to shape what you build next.
