Ever wonder how the prices on your favorite grocery items are determined? Meet Leon Zhang, co-founder and CEO of Better Basket, a startup empowering food and beverage businesses to optimize pricing and supply chains using AI. Leon’s journey—from studying mathematics at the University of Chicago to dropping out of his MBA at Wharton to join Y Combinator—is a story of grit and a passion for innovation.
Grocery stores and food businesses often struggle to set competitive prices for thousands of SKUs. Leon explains, “Most decisions are manual or based on outdated heuristics. We saw a massive gap for AI to step in and provide actionable insights.”
Better Basket leverages AI to analyze seasonal trends, customer behaviors, and competitor pricing. “Our platform ensures businesses maximize margins while staying competitive,” Leon shares.
Better Basket’s impact extends beyond profit margins. By improving supply chain efficiency and reducing waste, it’s a win-win for businesses and customers alike.
