🍞 Meet Breadfast

  • Egypt-based Breadfast is a tech-driven supply chain and grocery delivery platform that is changing how households shop.

  • Investor check. IFC, Olayan Financing Company, EBRD, Novastar Ventures, SBI Investment, AAIC, with support from existing investors, Y Combinator, and 4DX Ventures.


🛒 Solving the Grocery Headache

🚀 60-Minute Windows
