Send a text We sit down with Alex Darko Jr., founder of Menufinder, to unpack how a simple everyday frustration turned into a growing food tech platform in Ghana. Alex noticed how difficult it was to find reliable restaurant menus and good food options, and instead of complaining, he chose to build a solution. That decision led to Menu Finder — a food discovery platform now working with curated restaurants and changing how people find and order food across Ghana. In this episode, we talk about: •Seeing real-world problems as opportunities •Building solutions with tech in emerging markets •The journey from idea to trusted platform •Lessons for founders, creatives, and problem-solvers If you’re interested in startups, tech, entrepreneurship, or problem-solving, this conversation is for you.
