Led by founder Komal Ahmad Copia is striving to solve the world's dumbest problem in food waste and hunger by creating a platform to connect food oversupplied businesses with food-hungry nonprofits. The company is also developing predictive analytics tools to reduce food waste for restaurants and large food suppliers. 

Komal summarized Copia's mission and business saying, "Copia is trying to solve “the world’s dumbest problem.” In a world with so much technology, innovation, and abundance, issues like hunger should not exist. The hunger problem is a logistics problem, not a scarcity problem. Copia is a platform that connects businesses with excess food to nonprofits that are in need at just the right time when these nonprofits can make use of donated food."

Komal highlighted Copia's approach to scale saying, "We serve the United States and Canada. We have partnered with Doordash and Postmates, and we have created a webhook integration that automatically notifies a driver for one of these services when a business requests that food be picked up. These partnerships provide tremendous scale with 500,000 drivers throughout the United States, making us geographically agnostic."
