We're not a food company. We're a Trust HealthTech Company

Let me ask you a question.

If you, or someone you love, lives with a condition like diabetes or high blood pressure, you know the feeling.

It’s that knot of anxiety in your stomach every time you sit down to eat.

You look at a plate of food—food that is supposed to nourish you, to give you life—and a dozen questions flood your mind:

“Did the restaurant really use the right oil?”

“Is there hidden sugar in this sauce?”

“The doctor said ‘low sodium,’ but what does that even mean to a busy cook?”

“Will this one meal undo a week of careful management? Will it send blood sugar levels soaring?”

This isn’t just about making a healthy choice. It’s a constant, exhausting battle against uncertainty. It’s a crisis of trust.

You’ve been given advice from doctors, but the food industry—the restaurants, the delivery apps, the local vendors—wasn’t built to follow it. They were built for speed, for convenience, for mass appeal.

They were not built for you.
They were not built for your father, your mother, your spouse.

And so, you’re left alone. Trapped in a gap between medical advice and the real world, forced to gamble on your health with every single bite.

We know this feeling. We know this fear.

We know it because we’ve lived it.

And that is why Agiza24 exists.

Our Mission

To make food a lifeline, not a gamble

Let’s be perfectly clear.

Our mission is not to be another food delivery app. There are plenty of apps that can bring you a pizza faster or a burger cheaper. That is not the problem we are solving.

Our mission is to build Tanzania's most trusted platform connecting people with specific, critical health needs to a network of certified chefs who can prepare precise, personalized, and medically-sound meals.

We are here to give control back to the people who have had it stolen from them by a broken food system.

We are here to turn the daily anxiety of “Is this safe?” into the profound peace of mind of “I know this is right.”

We do this by focusing on three core principles:

Precision: Your health needs are not a “special request.” They are the entire request. We build technology that allows for medical-grade precision in every order.
Trust: We believe trust isn’t a marketing slogan; it’s a system. It’s our clinician-led certification, our vetted chefs, and our transparent process. It’s a system you can rely on, meal after meal.
Empowerment: We empower you, the customer, with absolute control over what goes into your body. And we empower talented local chefs to build sustainable businesses, turning their passion into a respected profession.

This isn’t just business. This is a promise. A promise forged from a personal tragedy that became the driving force behind everything we do.

Why we will succeed where others can’t!

Our "earned expertise" in a world of hype

You might be wondering, in a world full of sophisticated technology and giant global companies, why are we the ones to solve this problem?

The answer is simple. It lies in a powerful shift happening across the technology world, a shift away from hype and toward something much more valuable: Earned Expertise.

For the last few years, a common trend in startups has been the “AI for X” model. This usually involves smart engineers building a solution for an industry they know very little about. We’ve seen “AI for flower shops” built by people who have never arranged flowers, and “AI for video editing” built by people who have never worked on a professional film set.

This approach is fundamentally flawed. It lacks the deep, authentic empathy required to build something truly useful. These founders solve problems they imagine exist, assuming technology is the only missing piece.

The result is a wave of superficially impressive but ultimately hollow products that fail to address the real, painful needs of the user.

An "AI for meal planning" app built by a team of sernior software developers might be able to count calories. But can it understand the gut-wrenching fear a daughter feels when preparing a meal for her diabetic father? Can it navigate the complex, trust-based relationships of the local Tanzanian food supply chain?

No. Because that knowledge isn’t found in a dataset. It has to be earned.

Our Unbeatable Advantage!

We Are Not Tech Tourists

The best, most durable companies are built by founders who know their domain best, not just the technology. They possess an “earned secret”—a deep, non-obvious insight that can only be gained through first-hand experience.

The best car wash software is built by someone who has worked in car washes for a decade.
The best video workflow tool is built by professional video editors.
And the best, most trusted platform for therapeutic nutrition in Tanzania is built by a team that has lived the problem from every possible angle.

This is our defensible moat. This is why we will win.

We have the "Caregiver's Expertise"

Our founder, Lusabara, didn't read about this problem in a report. He lived it. He experienced the system's failure firsthand during his late father's battle with diabetes. He knows the emotional weight of the problem, not just the technical specifications.

We have the "Clinician's Expertise"

Our co-founder, Dr. Joseph, is a medical doctor who has spent his career on the front lines of this crisis. He understands the clinical nuances, the importance of data integrity, and the gap between medical advice and real-world execution. He isn't guessing what doctors need; he is the doctor.

We have the "Local Expertise"

We are a team built by Tanzanians, for Tanzanians. We understand the culture, the market dynamics, and the operational realities on the ground. We are not outsiders applying a foreign playbook; we are insiders building a homegrown solution.

We are not a tech company trying to “disrupt” healthcare. We are a clinician-led healthcare team using technology as a tool to deliver trust and precision at scale.

In an era where anyone can build an AI app, our deep, painfully earned expertise is the one thing that cannot be copied. It’s the foundation of our promise to you, and it’s the reason we will succeed.

The story behind the promise

A revelation forged in loss

A letter from our founder, Lusabara

For three years, from 2020 to 2023, I ran a business that was a complete failure.

My first version of Agiza24 was a typical food delivery app. We tried to connect restaurants to customers. We bought motorcycles. We burned through our life savings. We were solving a problem—’how to get food faster’—that a dozen other companies were already solving. The stress was immense. I gained 33 kilos. The business was dying.

For three years, from 2020 to 2023, I ran a business that was a complete failure.

But while my business was dying, my father was fighting for his life.

He was in the hospital, battling the severe complications of diabetes and hypertension. My family’s world became a frantic, daily search for a single, safe meal. A meal that wouldn’t harm him. A meal that could give him strength.

We begged restaurants. We scrolled endlessly through delivery apps. We were met with confusion and shrugs. The system simply wasn’t designed for someone with my father’s needs. There were no options.

There was no help. There was only helplessness.

On December 26th, 2024, my father passed away.

In that moment of profound loss, I had a devastatingly clear revelation: for three years, I had been completely and utterly wrong. The real problem wasn’t a lack of convenience. The real problem was a lack of control, a lack of precision, a lack of trust.

The real problem was the helplessness my family felt. The helplessness felt by millions of Tanzanians every single day.

My father’s struggle became my mission. His memory became the unshakable foundation of the new Agiza24.

We are not building this because we saw a market opportunity. We are building this because we lived the painful consequences of it not existing. And we made a promise that no other family should have to feel that same helplessness again.

Our Vision

A future where every meal heals

Our story drives our vision for the future. We are not just thinking about the next meal; we are building the health infrastructure for the next generation.

Our vision is a Tanzania where technology creates a seamless ecosystem of trust, connecting every individual to food that heals and every food entrepreneur to the tools they need to thrive.

What does this future look like?

For patients and caregivers

It looks like a world without food anxiety. Imagine your doctor prescribing a specific dietary plan, and with a single tap on your phone, that exact plan is transformed into a week of delicious, perfectly prepared meals delivered to your door. Imagine your glucose monitor detecting a slight imbalance and proactively suggesting a “Blood Sugar Balancing” meal, with bids from certified chefs appearing in minutes. This is a future where food is your most powerful medicine.

For Chefs and food entrepreneurs

It looks like a future of economic empowerment. We see our certified chefs not as gig workers, but as respected specialists and business owners. Our platform will provide them with a steady stream of high-value clients, and our B2B financing arm will give them the capital to scale, open their own kitchens, and even hire and train others. We are building a new, respected career path in the culinary arts.

For the healthcare system

It looks like a future of preventative care and data-driven outcomes. Agiza24 will become the crucial link between clinical advice and patient behavior. We will provide doctors and clinics with anonymized data on dietary adherence and patient-reported outcomes, helping them see what works in the real world. We are moving healthcare out of the clinic and into the kitchen.

Our vision is ambitious, but it is grounded in a real, validated need. It's a future we are building one meal, one chef, and one line of code at a time.

Our Impact

My name is Lusabara, and I founded Agiza24 because I watched my own father’s health decline while my family was forced to gamble on that same, flimsy hope. We lost that gamble.

I made a promise on his memory that I would build a system

where hope was no longer required. A system built on certainty. A system where the question “Is this safe?” is answered before you even ask.

What you are about to read is not a marketing page.

This is our Safety Doctrine. It is a detailed breakdown of the obsessive, military-grade system of checks and balances we have engineered to protect you.

Pay close attention. This is important.

The proof is in the numbers and the people

A vision is nothing without execution. A mission is nothing without impact.

Before launching the new Agiza24, we ran an intensive 3-month pilot program to test our new, mission-driven model. We needed to prove that this wasn’t just a heartfelt story, but a viable, scalable solution.

The results were more powerful than we could have imagined.

The data tells a story of urgent need

$47,000 in gross merchandise volume (GMV)

In just three months, with a small, closed group of users, the demand was immediate. This wasn't a "nice-to-have" service; it was a "must-have" solution that people were willing to pay for.

87% repeat customer rate

This is the number we are most proud of. It proves we are not just acquiring customers; we are building trust. An 87% retention rate in the food industry is almost unheard of. It's the ultimate validation that we are delivering on our promise of peace of mind.

8,392 pre-launch customer sign-ups

Once word got out, our waitlist exploded. This represents a tidal wave of pent-up demand from people who have been ignored for too long.

$2.8 million in financing demand

We tested our B2B financing model with a small group of local restaurants. They immediately requested $2.8M in capital, proving that our ecosystem approach—empowering both the demand and supply sides—is the key to sustainable growth.

But the most important impact isn't measured in dollars or percentages. It's measured in lives changed.

It's the text message from a daughter, finally able to sleep through the night without worrying if her father's dinner was safe.
It's the proud photo from a newly certified chef, holding the keys to her first commercial kitchen space, funded by our financing program.
It's the email from a nutritionist, telling us that her patient's A1c levels have stabilized for the first time in years because of consistent, precise meals from Agiza24.

This is our impact. This is the "why" that gets our team up every single morning.

So... who are the people obsessed enough to fix a problem everyone else ignores

You cannot solve a problem this deep without a team that is personally and professionally obsessed with the mission. Our leadership is built on a unique partnership that bridges generations, combining the seasoned wisdom of a clinical expert with the innovative vision of a mission-driven founder.

This is our “Unbeatable Trust Triangle“—a fusion of medical authority, empathetic experience, and operational excellence that our competitors cannot replicate.

Lusabara, Founder & CEO (The Millennial Mission-Driver)

The Architect of the Lifeline
As a Millennial founder, Lusabara brings a rare combination of personal mission and technical mastery to Agiza24. His vision is not just fueled by the personal tragedy of losing his father; it’s built with his own hands. As a full-stack developer and UI/UX designer, Lusabara is obsessed with translating deep user empathy directly into a seamless, intuitive, and beautiful product. He didn’t just have the idea for Agiza24; he designed the user interface and wrote the initial code. He understands that for a user filled with anxiety, the product experience cannot be confusing or frustrating—it must be calm, reassuring, and flawless. He is the engine and the engineer of Agiza24, ensuring we never lose sight of the human being we are serving, from the mission statement all the way down to the pixels on the screen.

Dr. Joseph, Co-Founder & Chief Medical Officer (The Gen X Clinical Guardian)

The Voice of Wisdom & Experience

Dr. Joseph represents the bedrock of trust upon which Agiza24 is built. As a seasoned medical doctor from Generation X, he brings decades of front-line clinical experience. He has seen countless health trends come and go, and he grounds our mission in what truly matters: evidence-based practice, patient safety, and measurable outcomes.

For our customers, he is the calm, credible authority they can rely on. For our company, he is the voice of wisdom ensuring we build a solution that is not just innovative, but effective and enduring.
