Sendme, a Nigerian Startup Redefining Food Experience, One Meat Slice at a Time
As digital innovation carves its path through every aspect of life, even the familiar bite of a tasty meat isn’t exempt from its transformative touch. Sendme, a Nigerian startup is reshaping the food landscape, not with flying drones or robot chefs, but with a clever blend of technology, ensuring that Nigerians access high-quality animal protein directly to their doorsteps.
Sendme was founded by Daniel Afolayan and Demilade Ola-Oladeinde, two Nigerians whose hunger for change was as strong as their love for technology. Daniel, a computer science expert with a passionate about problem-solving, saw the daily struggles Nigerians faced procuring quality meat – long queues, inconsistent options, and prices that danced to the tune of scarcity. Demilade, a logistics expert with a passion for efficiency, knew exactly how to bridge the gap between farms and families.

Thus, Sendme was founded in 2020, not just as a delivery service, but as a social commerce platform powered by AI. Sendme lets you tap into your network, share orders with friends and neighbors, and unlock lower prices through collective buying. Using AI, Sendme ensures that your chosen cuts of goat, chicken, fish, or whatever tickles your taste buds, arrive at your doorstep within the stipulated time.
Sendme believes food is a thread that binds families, a reason to celebrate, and a canvas for cultural expression. This ethos shines through in their commitment to fair prices, ethical sourcing through partnerships with local farmers, and fostering economic growth within communities.
Today, Sendme is more than a startup; it’s a movement empowering Nigerians with convenience and quality, nurturing local businesses, and rewriting the food experience one delicious delivery at a time.
As Daniel and Demilade continue to dream big, the question isn’t “what’s next?” but “where next?”. Will Sendme expand its menu, deepen its community ties, or perhaps even cross borders and share its revolutionary flavors with the world? We’ll let you know.
