Editor’s note: This article was first published in February 2012, as a news item: the €800,000 funding round, the nationwide rollout and free delivery on orders over €100 describe EnterBio at that time.
If you’ve ever tried to avoid chemicals in your everyday food, you’ll have noticed how hard it is to find natural products (food that hasn’t been altered or genetically modified and contains no preservatives, additives, flavour enhancers…). Because of this, even I toyed with the idea of looking into a way to bring together farmers and livestock breeders who understand the importance of organic food, so as to give the sector a boost.
That won’t be necessary: we’re pleased to share the news about this organic supermarket, EnterBio, a company that recently closed an €800,000 funding round so that it can supply the whole country (Spain). EnterBio describes itself like this:
“We are a Spanish distributor of organic products, partnered with producers, that seeks to energize the market and enable everyone to buy organic products in a simple, direct way. Our aim is to promote and develop online organic consumption, with a clear goal: to turn organic products into everyday consumer goods, improving the environment and people’s health and well-being.”
Anyone can now shop from the comfort of their own home for hundreds of organic products, and not only fruit and vegetables: these entrepreneurs also offer organic meat, organic beer and wine, and even household products.
The website is easy to use, the catalogue is wide and, from what we’re told, the service is fast and reliable. Delivery is also free on orders over €100.
It’s a good business idea: people are asking for these products, and it’s hard to do a varied shop in a single place. As we said in our article “Business trends for 2012“, organic products will be among the most profitable businesses.
