Hello Vico Lovers! Today Vico Food Box turns three years old. What have been the challenges we faced as a start-up? Let’s look at them together.
The road is not uphill; it is a real challenge!
Vico Food Box started as an Italian company in the Netherlands and then returned to its headquarters in Italy.
Why in the Netherlands? Because it was much more practical and faster than in Italy. The bureaucracy and costs in Italy are higher and scare a lot of young people who would like to get involved and open their own business.
“It costs almost 10 times more to set up a Start-up in Italy than in Germany, more than 15 times more than in France, almost 7 times more than in Spain and as much as 188 times more than in Croatia.”
AGI
The company was founded by four young Italians who had a desire: to bring the flavors of their homeland to Holland, to foreigners and Italians abroad.
In fact, the Vico team, composed of young and very young people (under 30) is the greatest asset – the winning secret. Next to them, there are the customers with their support, both in Italy and abroad.
The values that Vico shares are a passion for Made in Italy, our origins and traditions that set us apart worldwide, expertise in the industry, Italian brands that they personally choose; because products are sourced only from Italian suppliers, Italian prices, an eye for sustainability and a willingness to ship Italy to your door! With free shipping, free delivery and ongoing support. Vico Food Box supports the land and uses plastic-free packaging.
Creating a Start-up is not an easy thing to do. Many Start-up companies close down during the first 4 years of their life. There is a need to be very careful with budgets, have trained staff, continuously innovate and experiment a lot. Also never to be lacking: Attitude, Team building, Money.
“We are proud to be able to promote and support the Italian spirit in this way. The next goal, on which we are working, is to push beyond European borders.”
Gennaro Viscardi, Co-founder Vico Food Box
