Marketing Intern At Fast-Growing Boston Food Startup

About Us
With meat accounting for nearly 60% of all greenhouse gases from food production, it’s high time we changed the food we eat for ourselves, our planet, and our future.
At High Time Foods we believe plant-based food should reflect the multicultural world we live in and should be accessible to everyone. Our mission is simple: to empower chefs around the world with shelf-stable, affordable, nutritious, and cuisine-agnostic, plant-based meat alternatives.
Currently, we sell our plant-based meat alternative to restaurants, local chains and university cafeterias (foodservice) in the New England area. We are an immigrant owned business, have a diverse team from different backgrounds and cultures. We respect each other and love to learn from each other by asking questions. We put people and the planet first. Every day, we get our hands dirty and love doing so.
Last year we graduated from the Techstars Boston accelerator program and the MassChallenge accelerator program.
