Video is up!

It’s almost 1am and team Gourmair is happy to announce two things:

-We secured a second sponsor (anyone craving Louisiana Crawfish?) in the Louisiana Crawfish company. You can check them out here, http://www.lacrawfish.com/,

and who knows? They might want to give away some of their delicious crawfish as a price! Be sure to follow us on twitter as we might have some secret give aways for our loyal fans.  https://twitter.com/gourmair

- Our promotional video is up! We put a lot of effort into it, and we hope you enjoy it. Team Gourmair also wants to give a big shout out to George Burgess for helping us out with the video.

We have more exciting news coming up, so stay tuned!

Gourmair begins talks with massive national brand.

At 8:45am Austin time, Gourmair began discussions with the largest company in our market space. Omaha Steaks manufactures, markets and distributes a wide variety of premium steaks, red meats and other gourmet foods. They were founded in 1917 and have more than 1,800 employees.

Omaha Steaks’ Social Media Team will be at SXSW and has asked to meet to discuss our concept.

The Gourmair Team is excited about the prospect of working with a massive national brand like Omaha Steaks!

What we are all about. And why our stock will be hot.

People love the food they grew up with – whether it’s a favorite pizza joint where they grew up, or that awesome BBQ place down the road from their parent’s house. There is no easy or integrated directory to help people find all of their options for having this great food shipped right to their door, and to discover which vendors have the best reputation among their friends.

Gourmair will be the solution. Our platform will provide a directory of fresh food from everywhere that can be shipped to order. Site users will submit their favorite vendors, who can then be reviewed by their peers or friends. This will build an element of trust between vendors and customers. With Facebook integration, users will be able to share great food experiences with friends.

When users visit the site they will be able to search by region, types of food, or “experience”. Gourmair will offer a selection of exciting meal experience suggestions, such as a BBQ challenge between Kansas City and Texas BBQ, an elegant dinner party with food from five different regions, or a romantic lobster dinner for two.

According to our market research, the top vendor in the space does more than $450 million in annual sales. There are at least 2.6 million gourmet food buyers in the market that would be great targets for the Gourmair platform.

“Foodies are constantly seeking out their next unique food experiences. This void is often fulfilled through travel and exploring new flavors and local specialties.  The concept of “shippable food” is an interesting way to let people be a tourist in their own kitchen. I’d love to make Maine Lobster, and of course document the occasion using Evernote Food!”

- Naomi Pilosof, Product Manager, Evernote Food

Examples of food currently available include steaks from Kansas City and Omaha, cheesecake from Junior’s in Brooklyn, and crab from Alaska and California. Customized chocolate bars made with organic Belgian chocolate are one of the more unique options. A company in San Francisco even ships ice cream sandwiches.

A combination of Yelp and Foodspotting applied to mail-order food, Gourmair will help build an emerging market that already enjoys a huge base of customers.

Sponsorship = FREE LOBSTER

Sponsorship = FREE LOBSTER

We all love food.  Not just because of how it tastes, but because of the experience that comes along with it.  Let’s say you and some friends want to have a ribfest featuring the “best ribs in the country”.  How would you go about doing that?  How would you go about finding out who, what, where?  Or maybe your anniversary is coming up, and you really want to “wow” your significant other.  How about preparing a surf and turf featuring the best lobster and the best steak the world has to offer?  How would you even begin to go about doing this?

At Gourmair, we’re all about sharing those unforgettable experiences.  We help you create events centered around food truly worth talking about – not about the Jack-in-the-box that’s just down the road.  We provide the social tools that empower the decisions you make about important events in your life.  We’re an aggregator for an emerging market.  Gourmair – fresh food from everywhere.

Want to be the first to receive a free fresh lobster from Maine? For every share you buy from our stock, you will be entered into an online raffle, and the winner will get fresh lobster delivered straight to their doorsteps!
