The former undisputed MMA heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou has announced his investment in the revolutionary food-tech start-up, JarToGo. Francis Ngannou is one of the most inspirational athletes in the history of sports. Francis has developed into a role model that advocates for himself and other fighters and, most importantly, for Africa. He is bullish and tactical in business, just as he is in the octagon, and has joined the team at Envirotech Ghana Limited as an investor and advisory board member.
JarToGo, the Ghana-based innovative vending platform, is the world’s first zero-waste, plastic-free food delivery ecosystem. JarToGo enables consumers to access meals from unlimited vendors online with instant fulfilment offline at convenient pick-up outlets. By engaging local vendors and commercial partners, their mission is to uplift the informal agricultural economy, prevent plastic pollution, & address climate change.
Founded by Akwasi Asamoah and Kofi Apraku Jr., the founders often wondered why African food businesses, with their large varieties of food and cuisine, struggled to package local foods affordably to serve growing demand in the region and beyond. Moreover, the high cost of operating a regulated food business is expensive for informal African vendors, which forces them to use low-quality, unsafe, and wasteful logistics to process and present African food.
JarToGo offers seamless mobile technology and ISO-certified, smart-food vending tools to any size or level of food vendor for unlimited distribution anywhere, anytime, without delivery fees or last-mile friction. JarToGo logistics are standardised, 100% sterile, and can operate entirely on clean, renewable energy sources.
