Our Story
In 2018, Matt was vacationing in Costa Rica and had an a-ha moment-- all of the restaurants served delicious food and cocktails made with locally sourced ingredients and a side of environmental responsibility (no single-use plastic and they worked to cut back on food waste).
With climate change on the rise and our oceans overflowing with plastic-- he knew this commitment to sustainability needed to be amplified to restaurant-goers everywhere! At the end of the day, who doesn’t love a great meal and helping the environment at the same time??
When he returned home he connected with cofounder Evan and did some research-- after hundreds of interviews, countless online searches, and dozens of restaurant visits, they discovered that finding sustainable restaurants was no easy task! And voilà, the idea for Ribbit.io was born!
