Revolution in the Danish VC world, hopefully!
I typically don’t talk a lot about DK specific issues on this blog, since it is not really super relevant for the overall well being of Just-Eat, or for that matter of general interest to the international internet community, but I will make an exception. The last week, the always present discussion of the quality [...]
What a great story Jesper Buch
On this blog, I have a couple of times dived down in the exciting and at times dramatic Just-Eat history, and as we all know, Jesper Buch has been an important part of our heritage. Jesper was one of the co-founders of FoodZoom who merged with Just-Eat in 2001, but his real achievement was the [...]
The Just-Eat delivery team August 2011

After some serious start-up difficulties [...]
Finally: Just-Eat arrives in Italy, the land of the Pizza

Almost 300 full time colleagues flew in from all over the World to have a couple of days of socializing and party-party. No need to write up [...]
