7. TEUKO
The Teuko app was created by two French moms, Jessica and Alexandra, based in San Francisco. They both suffered from running out of ideas for healthy, tasty and fast foods to include in their children’s lunch boxes each day. Together they came up with the idea to bring technology into the daily school lunch routine by launching a lunchbox organization community and essential items.
