Founder, Foodboox

Matthew Kwek

Matthew Kwek is reshaping how youth empowerment and food entrepreneurship intersect. As the founder of FoodBoox, a youth-powered food collective, he champions a model where low-income families and at-risk youth gain not just skills but ownership, income, and independence.

FoodBoox runs on a simple but powerful engine: real-world training, modular job roles, and a zero-risk sales model that allows young people to earn while they learn. From managing digital storefronts to running events and operations, youth ambassadors gain hands-on experience while building pathways out of vulnerability.

Whether it’s feedback from the field or finding new ways to support their network, Matthew leads with humility, data, and heart. The result is a movement that’s redefining what it means to grow a brand and a community from the inside out.
