About EATO
EATO is a Ghanaian-founded, AI-powered marketplace that connects African food entrepreneurs—chefs, processors, traders, and SMEs—with global consumers, markets, and financing. Launched in 2023 by Margaret Kyerematen-Debrah, EATO blends media, commerce, and data infrastructure to digitize Africa’s informal food economy.
They are building the digital infrastructure for Africa’s food economy, enabling food entrepreneurs to scale, access capital, and connect with global markets.
They focus on women-led SMEs (though not exclusively), seeing them not just as a social mission, but as a market opportunity—harnessing the power of underrepresented entrepreneurs to drive sector-wide innovation and economic expansion.
