Four years ago today, we pitched Chowdeck at YC Demo Day.
It’s crazy how quickly time flies and even crazier how much can change in four years.
For one, my hair is longer 😂 😂😂
But more importantly, @chowdeck has grown far beyond what any of us could have imagined back then.
In the video, I was so proud of delivering 800 orders in a day. Today, we do that every 15 minutes.
And yet, it’s still Day One 🚀

I understand that the maximum number of tries is 3 times for the voucher. I have asked that it be increased to 7 times. ETA is 30 mins.

For the 20k voucher, I want to try out something I saw earlier this week.
I pick a number in my mind from 1 to 100 and ask people to guess the number 🙂
I think it’s going to be crazy though

Great week so far. Shooting stars won their match. Item 7 launched in Abuja. 🚀🚀🚀
Two vouchers to celebrate that.
First voucher is 2k for 2k people.
Second voucher is 20k for 20 people but with a very very hard security question.
3pm for the first voucher and 7pm for the second voucher 🙏
