OC500 HOSPITALITY/FOOD: KEVIN KIM

CEO, CHEFERBLY

WHY: Heads Irvine startup that aims to “democratize and demystify” the elusive nature of private dining while simultaneously spotlighting private chefs and caterers. Chefs on platform hail from restaurants like Nobu, Spago, Knife Pleat and three Michelin-starred El Celler de Can Roca.

IN THE NEWS: Launched startup Cheferbly in late 2022. Planning to expand into LA with pop-ups.

QUOTABLE: “The process for booking [private] catered dinners was so complicated, time-consuming and seemingly antiquated. I wanted to simplify the relationship between private chefs and consumers by creating a solution that would make their service accessible to everyone.”
