Starday’s platform is providing end-to-end partner that turns predictive insights into actionable R&D along with concept development in months, not years.
Executive Statement
According to Chaz Flexman, CEO and co-founder of Starday, everyone’s looking to artificial intelligence to magically solve their problems, but the reality is, AI is a tool. That means that it's only effective when teams are aligned, empowered, and know how to use it with clarity and purpose. They built Starday’s Innovation platform to address the biggest challenges food and beverage teams face in product development, overwhelming data, chasing misleading signals, and working within rigid, siloed R&D processes. As they built our own brands, we heard the same need across the industry: tools that cut through the noise, deliver actionable insights, and help teams move from idea to execution with more speed and confidence.
