A glimpse of Else Lab
Since its founding in 2014, Else Labs has never let go of the idea of ‘more flavour more freedom’. This privately held company is led by Khalid Aboujassoum and aims to blend homemade food, quality, and technology. Most companies strive to bring automation into every part of our lives but neglect the kitchen. Contrarily, Else Labs strives to furnish precise and perfect solutions to students and busy parents.
The brain behind the technical marvel

Later on, he worked for numerous companies and established some of his own as well. Currently, his most successful companies are ibTECHar and Else Labs.
During and after his studies, Mr Khalid received numerous awards, including:
- 1st Prize Winner and Designated Top Entrepreneur of 2011 (ictQatar)
- 1st Prize Winner and Designated as the “Star of Science” of 2012
- His product, Oliver, received highlights in The Spoon, Ottawa Business Journal, Business Insider, etc.

He continues. “We built Oliver to capture an expert chef’s talent, timing and technique—in frying, steaming, sautéing, mixing, braising and stirring—in one smart cooking robot.”
