CREATE ·2025 Grants ChallengeBodega Link: AI-Powered Platform to Transform Healthy Food Access in Underserved LA
Bodega Link by VNDRMATCH is an AI-powered technology platform that transforms small corner stores into health equity hubs by managing inventory and matching bodegas with local and mid-size vendors based on preferences, cultural needs, and availability. Launching in South and East LA, our pilot connects stores to farmers, food access nonprofits, and incentive programs to build a scalable, hyperlocal food ecosystem. Starting with fresh produce, we will expand to distribute niche healthy products made by local entrepreneurs.
