Meet the Team

The CEO and founder of Phood is Alex Parmley, a 25-year-old high school graduate from Alabama. After living with friends who went to a local college, he wanted to find a way to avoid a trip to the dining hall and order delivery with his meal card. After three years of development, Alex has built a tool that makes this possible.听

Nick Ennis works alongside two other rising seniors at CU Boulder, Jonah Rosen and Harrison Covert, Phood鈥檚 business and financial analysts, respectively. Nick thinks very highly of his colleagues,

鈥淭hey have been able to reduce an average 6-12 month sales process to 6-12 days due to the passion they have for this product and deep understanding of the end-user.鈥�

Jonah and Harrison are the drivers behind the success of Phood and they are actively looking for more like-minded sales individuals and analysts.

COVID Implications

Although the implications of COVID have been mostly negative, Nick and his team have found ways to capitalize their time by reaching out to numerous universities. They鈥檝e even noticed that COVID has sped up their sales process immensely. The team is actively signing schools up and are expecting to launch in Q4 of 2020 at a university in the USA and Canada. By Q1 of 2021, they hope to launch at 10-15 universities. Be sure to keep an eye out for Phood at universities across the country!听
