The Nori Project, Inc. was a food equi-tech company focused on expanding equitable food access, through smart vending infrastructure. Founded on the belief that healthy food should be accessible to all without locational or monetary barriers, Nori initially operated a direct-to-consumer model providing affordable, locally sourced meals through ultra-modern vending machines available 24/7.

As the company evolved, Nori pivoted to an infrastructure-first model, deploying smart vending systems that enabled organizations, food producers, and entrepreneurs to operate modern vending businesses without added operational complexity. By shifting from direct food handling to machine sourcing, deployment, customization, and consulting, Nori removed barriers related to staffing, hours, and logistics allowing partners to scale distribution, generate revenue, and stay focused on their core work. The company was founded and led by Dr. Anora Morton, who oversaw strategy, operations, overseas manufacturing, contracts, compliance, and national attention.
