In the first of a series of events co-hosted by pariSoma and Founder’s Space, we’ll be taking a deep dive into the story of David Hu, the founder of the startup Special Fork.

Special Fork was created for just-in-time decision-making at the supermarket to meet the needs of the everyday cook. These are people who decide what to make for dinner the day of — usually at the last minute – the ones looking lost as they push their carts aimlessly from aisle to aisle. In this desperate moment, supermarkets and brands can step forward with solutions, winning the shopper’s gratitude and loyalty.

David Hu is the CEO and founder of Special Fork. He has over 10 years of experience in the high tech industry focusing his last three years in the mobile space. As a Product Manager and Analyst at Mmetrics, a mobile media research company, David was instrumental in defining the core handset device specifications database and contributed to the highest consumer handset identification rate in the industry. Most recently David was the Manager for Mobile Devices at Virgin Mobile USA where he oversaw special edition handsets accounting for $12.8M in revenue and contributed to overall handset selection accounting for $13.8M in revenue. David earned a BA in International Relations and a BA in French from Tufts University. He earned his MBA graduating magna cum laude from Babson College’s F.W.
