A SE participation agreement for HelloFresh was signed on 7 November 2016. The company from Berlin has been operating as a SE since 14 December 2016. HelloFresh is the world's largest delivery service for food with a subscription of prepared recipes in their "food boxes". This Startup, which was founded in 2011, has 800 employees in nine countries and is rapidly growing. The capital comes from the same financial investors who also founded the on-line fashion retailer Zalando.
The Special Negotiating Body had twelve members, including eight from the Netherlands, three from Germany and one from the United Kingdom. The new SE works council which is called the European Forum, has only one member per country and currently a total of three. They meet once annually and are directly elected by the workforce of their country. A steering committee is only put in place if the European Forum has more than five members. There is no employee representation on the supervisory board. The SE legal form is highly appreciated in the Startup-mail order industry such as in windeln.de the most recent example of a SE conversion
