Ever since 2015, we’ve been welcoming companies that build interesting technology that change how we shop, cook, and eat to our big event, SKS. This year is no different, and tomorrow we’ll hear from 14 startups showcasing their products on the big stage.
You won’t want to miss their presentations at SKS, and you can also talk to them in person during the mid-day exhibition and networking time in our custom built SKS metaverse space on Gather.
But first, check out our sneak peek of each company below in this SKS Innovator preview.
Celcy
Celcy is building an autonomous cooking appliance that combines a countertop oven with a freezer that stores the meals until ready for cooking. The device can store up to four meals in a freezer. Cooking can be rescheduled via an app or on-demand via request. When it’s time to cook, the meal is shuttled from the freezer compartment on the left side into the cooking compartment side on the right. A built-in elevator lifts and deposits the frozen meal in the top upper right cooking chamber where it is cooked for consumption.
Cuisine Machine
Cuisine Machine is a countertop smart appliance that uses pre-programmed electronic recipe cards to automatically add ingredients one by one during cooking, while controlling the temperature and pressure. The patented device was invented by Subina Shami.

The company’s technology analyzes a customer’s biomarkers and looks for nutrient gaps, and then creates a personalized nutrition plan. The company delivers customized supplements to the consumer’s home and offers one-on-one guidance with dieticians via the app or video call.
Evercase
Evercase’s technology utilizes pulsed electric and oscillating magnetic fields to cause water molecules within food stored at sub-zero temperature to vibrate, inhibiting the formation of ice crystals. The result is food that, when pulled out of a Evercase-equipped freezer, has almost the exact look and texture of food that is fresh and not riddled with ice crystals.
Fresh Portal
Fresh Portal makes a food and package delivery locker that is built into the side of a home. It has temperature control zones for either hot or cold food and would be accessible both from the outside and inside. It would be managed by an app and integrated with third-party delivery service providers like UberEats or Amazon Fresh so they can access the outside of the locker and insert a delivery.
Gardyn
Gardyn makes an indoor growing system that can grow up to 8 pounds of produce per month. The system utilizes AI to monitor the produce while you are away. The app automates the watering and lights, and plants are ready to harvest within 4-5 weeks.

Perks99
Perks99 is a sustainable lunch subscription service for the workplace that reduces take-out waste by using reusable bamboo bento plates, cutlery, and retro bags for delivery and pick-up meals.
