How we started

Our story

At Freshline, we're passionate about the intersection of technology and food. With more than 20 years of collective experience in software engineering, wholesale food, and perishable logistics, our mission is to help suppliers build thriving online businesses.

Our founders, Joseph and Robert, are recipients of Forbes 30 Under 30 and have been featured on Gimlet Media, Globe and Mail, Financial Post, Bay Street Bull, and Google — among others.

Prior to building Freshline, the team built a successful B2B seafood marketplace called Coastline Market. Over five years, they worked with thousands of top chefs and the best seafood suppliers globally. Then COVID hit.

The pivot

The birth of Freshline

COVID-19 forced thousands of farmers, butchers, and food suppliers to make incredible changes they couldn't have ever imagined. We also felt these frustrations and grew tremendously from it.

Fast-forward to today, and the Freshline team has taken the best of what we've learned — across technology, perishable operations, and distribution — to build the best platform for food suppliers. Whether you're a small farmer or a national wholesaler — we're on a mission to help you build a thriving online business.

“The Vancouver-based duo has built a big business: their online marketplace has delivered over 500,000 pounds of fresh seafood to everyone from Pokeworks and Hard Rock Casino.”
