AgLocal

AgLocal was a venture-backed food-technology startup (founded 2011 by Mike Hsieh and Naithan Jones, Kansas City / San Francisco) that built an online marketplace connecting small family ranchers and sustainable meat producers directly with buyers. It launched in 2013 as a ranch-to-restaurant marketplace serving chefs, then pivoted in 2014 to a consumer-facing monthly meat subscription service. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Chicago Ventures and others across roughly $3.8M in funding, the company shut down in 2015, stating it could not reach a self-sustaining business model. It is added to the API Evangelist network as an a16z portfolio lead; the company is now defunct and its domain (aglocal.com) is parked/for sale, so no live developer portal, API, or specifications exist to enrich.

AgLocal is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Agriculture, Food, Marketplace, and Meat.
