Dominik Richter, co-founder and CEO of HelloFresh, discussed the company's operational model and market position in two podcast appearances in 2023. In a May 2023 episode of *Business Breakdowns*, Richter described HelloFresh as positioned between a subscription business and a classic e-commerce direct-to-consumer brand, noting that the company had reached a six billion dollar revenue run rate. He also mentioned that the company's low waste rate of around one percent was a notable statistic, and shared that his favorite meal from the menu is Bavarian meatballs, a recipe inspired by his mother. In a November 2023 episode of Scottish Mortgage's *Invest in Progress* podcast, Richter spoke with deputy manager Lawrence Burns about the company's role in reducing food waste and streamlining the food supply chain. He reflected on the operational challenges during the pandemic and described the company's opportunity set as "large, somewhat unbounded, and within your control." Richter also noted that HelloFresh's customer base includes long-term users, with Burns mentioning that his own parents had been loyal customers since 2015.
