Mohamed Chaudry, chief financial officer of Vendease, a Y Combinator-backed food procurement platform, stepped down in April 2025. His departure comes amid a restructuring effort as the company urgently bids to reach profitability and raise fresh funding. Chaudry has since launched an edtech platform, The Scale Up CFO Hub, that teaches founders how to become investor-ready.
Chaudry, who also held the title of co-COO, spearheaded the restructuring in the months leading up to his resignation. This process saw Vendease reduce its workforce by 180 employees and was implemented alongside a new, aggressive employee pay structure. Vendease has moved to a performance-based system where unpaid salary portions will convert into an Equity Share Option Plan (ESOP)
