About
Blue Apron is a pioneering meal kit delivery service that delivers pre-portioned, fresh ingredients with step-by-step recipe cards to subscribers' homes, targeting home cooks who want to cook restaurant-quality meals without meal planning or grocery shopping. Founded in 2012 in New York City by Matt Salzberg, Ilia Papas, and Matthew Wadiak, Blue Apron went public in 2017 but struggled as competition intensified — HelloFresh, Home Chef, and Everyplate have all gained significant share. Blue Apron was acquired by Wonder Group in 2023 for approximately $103 million.
