STARTUPS — Blue Apron Inc. is getting ready for a new round of funding. The New York-based startup has made a name for itself by shipping consumers packages of pre-measured ingredients for specific dishes. A customer would receive, for example, the exact amounts of meat, vegetables, and spices to make a pot of jambalaya. The company is hoping to raise around $100 million, which would place its total valuation in the crazy-town $2 billion range.
