Overview

BiteSight shows users videos of food we think they will love from nearby restaurants and delivers it right to their door.

Zac and Lucious studied together at UT Austin. Zac did CS and AI Research, and Lucious built his first $1M ARR product while moonlighting at a YC startup at age 19..

UberEats and DoorDash have become cluttered and impersonal super apps. They've created a $30B opportunity for a delivery app that puts the customer experience first by combining high-quality videos, recommendations, and social proof from your most trusted food critics - your friends.
