Food52 shows 135k monthly uniques, projects 1M uniques in 14 months and a $750k raise to fund a curated ecommerce play built on group sales (17 deals/week at $50 each) — margins and sourcing look tight. Hourly targets the 75M gig workforce, bootstraps by aggregating Craigslist feeds and focuses on hospitality as a beachhead; revenue is low‑price employer subscriptions.
