As a serial entrepreneur, I know first hand what it takes to make it in the big city of dreams. EatOkra was recently endorsed officially by the City of New York in their new “We Love New York” campaign. But not only does NYC love EatOkra, folks across the country have long validated EatOkra’s business.. In the past three years I’ve witnessed EatOkra’s phenomenal growth. Since the explosion of installs and the number of restaurants added weekly, EatOkra has put itself on a trajectory to be the go-to-app for food enthusiasts inside and outside of the African-American community. EatOkra is a foodie's dream, offering a variety of restaurant experiences from food trucks, wine bars, fine-dining, vegan and more. And I think that is what really sets them apart from other directory and delivery apps. EatOkra encourages users to get offline and go discover the best kept secret right around the corner, and then order from it later. And the best part about EatOkra is that it supports the folks that are truly driving the American economy - small businesses - while also keeping the American dream alive. Being a fellow military veteran, I recognize EatOkra’s CEO Anthony Edwards’ diligence and dedication as a core driver for himself, and his team. I have two exits under my belt and I am confident that EatOkra has the potential to be a third, in addition to truly changing the way America dines in, and out.
