Daily Harvest, Inc. — Cyborg Score 6/10

Solid
Food Delivery Services

Strategic Profile

As of May 2025, Daily Harvest was acquired by Chobani, which provides access to a wider distribution network and the resources of a major food brand. Daily Harvest focuses on making plant-based nutrition convenient by offering frozen organic products that can be prepared quickly at home, with ingredients sourced from responsibly grown fruits and vegetables.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Daily Harvest has a strong brand position in the health-focused meal subscription space with proven market validation evidenced by $133M in funding and a $1.1B pre-acquisition valuation. However, as a now-private subsidiary of Chobani (acquired May 2025), growth trajectory and future standalone performance are uncertain. The plant-based and frozen meal market remains competitive with multiple well-funded alternatives.
