Dave Rabie is a natural entrepreneur that is fanatical about food. While at Booth Business School in Chicago he discovered a way to blend his two passions into an exciting culinary adventure. His multifaceted cooking business Tovala takes the hassle out of dinnertime by delivering high quality ingredients to your home. The magic of Tovala is that they cook the meal for you too! It was difficult to transform this innovative idea into a business model but Dave and Tovala pulled it off. In this episode he explains how they grew 10% - 20% per week once they found product market fit. Tovala is now employing more than 130 people and Dave has ‘become a leader as well as a doer'!

Is a good idea or useful product enough to launch a company? Not according to David Rabie, the Founder and CEO of Tovala. He learned that lesson the hard way. From its humble beginnings to a top-ranked home-cooked meal delivery service, Tovala now ships more than 100,000 meals every month and is finding success on multiple platforms.

This week I chatted with David Rabie, Co-Founder & CEO of Tovala. As Tovala puts it, they provide impossibly convenient home-cooking. They invented a smart oven that perfectly cooks the chef-crafted meals that they offer, which makes them an interesting part hardware / part subscription hybrid. Between choosing what to eat, buying the ingredients, cooking the food and cleaning up the dishes, people spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Tovala has created a solution that streamlines that whole process and still gets you a home-cooked meal at the end of it. They've been gaining traction and were  actually on Oprah's 2021 Favorite Things List. Interplay is proud to be an investor. During the chat we discussed the ins and outs of Tovala - including the in-depth shipping process that's required to efficiently and safely deliver ready to cook food, how David came to start Tovala and much more.

Over the years of hosting #WeGotGoals, we’ve heard a lot of founders tell us that they want to “Revolutionize X” or “Shake up Y.” But when David Rabie, the founder and CEO of Tovala told me that he's going to “revolutionize home cooking,” I absolutely believe him. That's because I talked to him three years ago just after Tovala started selling to the masses, and I've watched the company deliver on the promises they made. Tovala’s countertop cooking device uses a barcode to tell a smart oven how to combine steaming, convection, broiling and toasting to produce a *chef’s kiss* meal. And they promise less than a minute of prep. Rabie says that’s all intended to give you “the best parts of home cooking, but none of the messy stuff – like prepping.” Salmon, he said, will steam, bake and broil as it cooks, giving you a perfectly baked, caramelized meal. But the journey from idea to that smart counter-top oven has been winding, rewarding, and full of the kind of moments that occupy entrepreneurs' dreams. In this week's episode of #WeGotGoals, you'll hear about Tovala's journey to winning the New Venture Challenge at The University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, their time at Y-Combinator, and their successful kick-starter campaign – which, by the way, meant that the company had to build a food production process and fulfill 1,000 orders. At the time of our interview, Rabie had recently closed a $20 million funding round - the company's Series-B. And as he put it, "Yeah, that's a lot of money."   Resources: Learn more about Tovala and check out its weekly menu If you want to reminisce at how far company has come, look back at the sheer delight as Tovala (originally named Maestro) won the New Venture Challenge at the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business Learn more about Y Combinator and go to their free Start-up School, you don’t even have to apply for that.

David Rabie of Tovala joins Nick on a special Crisis Coverage installment to discuss Finding PMF, Raising Series B, & Navigating a Startup Amidst the Pandemic. In this episode, we cover: I was just checking and we had you on the show back in March of 2016... that was over 4 years ago, pre-launch, during your Kickstarter campaign.  So crazy how much time has passed.  Can you refresh us on the origin story of Tovala... We've invested in the pre-seed, seed, Series A and now Series B round... and we're fortunate to have a front row seat while  you and the team built an amazing company but bring the audience up-to-speed on the last few years... what have been the key milestones/inflection points? Your revenue was strong, hovering near mid seven figures ARR, until Q3 2019 when it took off at a growth rate like I've never seen... accelerating past $10M ARR and continue a rapid growth rate, even during the crisis.  What changed that caused the ramp? How do you define PMF and when did you know you reached it? What tech companies do you compare yourself to and how do you measure up? North Star Metrics?  LTV, Payback, Yearly Spend, Retention? Overall, how has the crisis affected your business? What are the major levers/measures you've taken to reduce cost? Talk to us about raising the B round -- and How it was trying to raise as the pandemic hit? Let's talk about what's next for Tovala...  On the oven side of the business... currently consumers have to purchase your smart steam oven -- a countertop device similar to a toaster oven.  What does the future look like on the hardware side and is the Tovala countertop steam oven always going to be necessary to enjoy Tovala food? And the food itself... what are some options available to expand meal kits available beyond just Tovala's kitchen? Any other strategic partnerships or growth channels that are high priority opportunities for you after closing the B round? Greek chicken and vegetable pita... Any plans for breakfast or lunch? From my family members... When are you going to have a pizza or a hamburger? How would you describe your leadership style and the culture you've established at Tovala?

David Rabie is the Founder of Tovala which is a Smart Oven that is paired with a meal delivery service. Essentially you get a fresh healthy packaged meal delivered and you scan the package and pop it in the Smart Oven and it knows the precise time and method to cook the meal to perfection whether it be broiling, baking, steaming or convection. They sold 250K worth of Tovala ovens on Kickstarter and 100K of that in one day. They also won the University of Chicago New Venture Challenge in 2015. To date they have raised over 700K. In this episode… How an innovator meets and overcomes challenges on their journey says a lot about their character and internal fortitude. One of the many obstacles entrepreneurs like David Robie face is tackling critical feedback. David and his company Tovala have been gearing up for the product introduction of their new Smart Oven. Using his business savvy, David has sought out and embraced critiques and tough feedback for his product. A huge part of this process is incorporating the use of focus groups and beta testing before product launch. It can be tempting for innovators to take this kind of feedback personally. Only the most driven and wise leaders rise above and push through criticism and even embrace it to see their products thrive in the marketplace. Assembling a stellar team can make or break a successful product introduction. A quality team is so vital to the success of today’s startups that small business accelerator, Y Combinator largely rejects innovators that don’t have a solid team built around them. Entrepreneur David Rabie credits much of his products success and popularity to his all-star team. He has high caliber individuals that have brought key advice, feedback, and contributions to the development of Tovala’s Smart Oven. They are poised now for a smooth and successful product launch in Spring 2017 because of the essential contributions and collaboration fostered by this amazing team. To hear more about the necessity of building a quality team and more from David’s story - listen to this episode of Inspired Insider. The digital age has brought about many changes in the realm of startups and product introduction. An amazing tool for innovators and entrepreneurs in this new digital age is the crowdsourcing website Kickstarter. Kickstarter has facilitated thousands of product launches over the years as it has gained notoriety. Tovala founder David Rabie has enjoyed using this platform to gather a tribe around his innovative product, a Smart Oven. Listen to Jeremy's conversation with David that centers around his great success and even some challenges on this episode of Inspired Insider. The age old question - what did you want to be when you were a child? It makes for a great icebreaker question but it’s also a fun question to ask an entrepreneur like David Rabie. From childhood, David has dreamed of owning his own business. David attributes this largely to the influence of growing up as a child of immigrants. His parents immigrated from Iran to America in the late 1970’s. For the majority of his life, all David knew was his father working as his own boss. So fast-forward to today and David is a successful business leader who is poised to launch his company’s first product; the Tovala Smart Oven in Spring 2017. Hear more about David’s road to success on this episode of Inspired Insider. A product launch date for founders of new startups can be like anticipating the arrival of a new child in many ways. The whole range of emotions are there; nervousness, jitters, joy, pride, anxiety, and much more! Like a proud new father, David Rabie of Tovala is fired up about his company’s upcoming product launch. He should be! The Tovala Smart Oven is an amazing product.
