Shelflife
“How much money are you losing to expired products?” That’s the question Shelflife founder Samhita Karnati WG25 poses to grocers who manually track their inventory’s expiration dates.Karnati’s startup, a member of Venture Lab’s Fall 2024 VIP-X cohort in Philadelphia, helps retailers identify what’s expiring, suggests when items should be marked down, generates discount labels, and more. The venture aims to help grocers keep food fresh, reduce waste, and improve sales margins without the need to manually take stock of shelves.
