Chowdeck’s Post

Hi friends, We're excited to announce that Chowdeck has been accepted to Y Combinator’s Summer Batch 2022, joining a league of extraordinary companies like Stripe, Airbnb, Paystack, and more, who’ve been through the YC process.  This year, the batch was super selective, with roughly 1.2% of companies accepted out of 19 000; we do not take Chowdeck’s place in this cohort for granted. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be learning everything it takes to be better entrepreneurs and to serve our customers better.  Launched in October 2021, Chowdeck is Africa's easiest and fastest on-demand food delivery service. We’re on a mission to empower restaurants to deliver meals to customers anywhere and anytime. Since October 2021, we’ve delivered 60,000 meals and processed over $400,000 in GMV. We’ve also achieved a record delivery time of under 35 minutes even as order volume increased from an average of 40 daily orders in January to an average of 600 daily orders in June. Today, we serve customers in Ikeja and Yaba, major neighbourhoods in Lagos, Nigeria. Thanks to Y Combinator for believing in us and to our customers for trusting us! The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step 👣 The next phase of the work begins 😄 Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks. #chowdeck #ycombinator #africa #nigeria
