About the company

Babaco Market is an Italian e-grocery subscription service focused on reducing food waste by delivering “imperfect” fruit and vegetables to customers. Babaco Market was established in 2020 and raised a €6.3m Series A led by United Ventures in November 2022. As of January 30, 2026, Babaco Market’s website shows a “we’re about to return” holding page collecting emails for updates, which limits visibility into current operations and hiring.

Locations and presence

Babaco Market lists Milan as its primary location (Via Calabiana, 6). The company’s public footprint is mostly Italy-facing, and the current public website does not show active service regions or live roles.

Palpable Score

37.2

/ 100

Babaco Market has some proof of early-career involvement through internship signals and junior job titles visible in public employee listings, but there is no visible, current hiring pipeline to reliably access. The lack of public job descriptions, salary ranges, and outcome metrics keeps most pillars capped.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

7.0

/ 20

The company has at least one internship signal publicly, including an intern review tied to Milan.
Babaco Market’s current public website does not show a careers page or open roles, which makes entry-level access hard to time or verify.
The company shows junior titles in public employee listings (for example, “Grocery Junior Buyer”), but there are no live postings to confirm repeat junior hiring.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

8.3

/ 20

The company does not publish a hiring process, interview steps, or response timelines on the current public website.
Babaco Market has limited candidate-experience evidence available publicly, with Glassdoor data focused more on employment reviews than a clear, repeatable interview process.
The company does not provide a visible, consistent application channel (ATS or role pages) that early-career candidates can rely on today.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

9.3

/ 20

The company has at least one early-career experience described as having “space for growth” and being “heard,” which is a support signal, but it’s based on a very small sample.
Babaco Market does not publish onboarding details, mentorship structure, or training expectations in job descriptions because there are no accessible current role pages.
The company’s major public updates are business and funding focused, rather than people-development focused, so learning support for juniors is hard to verify.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

6.3

/ 20

The company does not publish salary ranges on a jobs page that candidates can reference today.
Babaco Market has at least one employee review stating pay is “low compared to the market,” which is negative evidence even though it’s not enough to generalise across functions.
The company’s public site currently being a holding page increases uncertainty about near-term role stability for new starters.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

6.3

/ 20

The company has too little public data on promotions, retention, or internship-to-full-time conversion to score outcomes strongly.
Babaco Market’s LinkedIn employee listings show a small visible team footprint and some junior titles, but that does not confirm progression timelines or repeat junior cohorts.
The company has mixed-to-limited employee-review volume, and there is no published internal mobility or retention reporting to validate early-career outcomes.
