Amina Gilani quit her full-time insurance job in 2019 when the restaurant software company she co-founded in Canada, Sociavore, was accepted into a Chicago accelerator program for food industry startups. At the time, Sociavore, which is based in Ontario, had a staff of two people. Today it has about a dozen employees, and Gilani doesn’t consider it a startup anymore. “If I look at the timeline of the company and what’s happened since then, that opportunity was really important to us,” Gilani said about Food Foundry’s accelerator program, which connects its startups to investors and helps them get a foothold in the Chicago business community. Sociavore, whose customers are about evenly split between Americans and Canadians, may soon undergo another transformation, but Gilani says this one won’t be positive.
