Bloomspoon: A Revolutionary Step Towards Sustainable Living in Dubai
Dubai, UAE — In an inspiring move that reflects the growing emphasis on sustainability, Bloomspoon, a trailblazing startup born in Dubai, has captured the spotlight by securing AED 800,000 in investment on Season 3 of Shark Tank Dubai. The deal, which grants 49% equity in the startup, was struck with Toufic Kreidieh, the Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of Brands for Less (BFL Group), a major player in the retail sector of the region.
A Vision Rooted in Sustainability
Bloomspoon was founded with a visionary mission: to seamlessly integrate sustainability into our everyday lives. At the heart of this mission is Bloomspoon’s flagship offering—plantable cutlery. These innovative utensils, crafted from wheat straw, include a unique water-soluble seed capsule. After use, users can simply plant the cutlery to grow herbs like basil and mint, transforming what would have been single-use waste into vibrant life.
As Mostafa Khattab, the Founder of Bloomspoon, articulates, “We’re not just building products; we’re building habits and mindsets.” This philosophy underscores the startup’s commitment to creating not just functional items, but a lifestyle that embraces sustainability.
A Strategic Partnership
The investment from Kreidieh represents more than just a financial boost; it brings with it a wealth of strategic value. Kreidieh’s extensive experience in retail and his vast network will significantly enhance Bloomspoon’s capacity to reach a broader audience. He emphasizes the importance of catering to a new generation, stating, "You cannot imagine how the Gen Z’s are looking for these ideas," pointing to the burgeoning demand for innovative, eco-friendly products among younger consumers.
This alignment between Bloomspoon and Kreidieh not only enhances their operational potential but also highlights a shared vision of fostering sustainable practices within the consumer market.
Media Spotlight and Growing Recognition
Bloomspoon’s appearance on Shark Tank is a pivotal moment in its growth trajectory. The startup has previously gained notable recognition from various media outlets, including Reuters, The Weather Channel, Dubai One TV, and Forbes Middle East. This media exposure reinforces their message of purpose-driven business, as the company commits to planting a tree with every order while maintaining a net-zero website.
Such initiatives reflect Bloomspoon’s dedication to environmental responsibility, making sustainability an integral part of their operations.
Future Aspirations
Looking ahead, Bloomspoon is poised for significant expansion. The startup plans to diversify its product lines, explore new markets, and enhance its retail presence. One of its ambitious goals includes pursuing B Corp certification, which will further solidify its commitment to ethical business practices.
With Kreidieh’s strategic support and visibility from platforms like Shark Tank, Bloomspoon aims to become the leading name in the UAE for sustainable, feel-good living.
