In the world’s most dynamic & emerging cities, we turn constraints into capability — creating food networks that learn, evolve, and thrive alongside the people they serve.
Every delivery, delay, and detour teaches the system. Movement patterns improve predictions across the city.
Optimises for energy cost, transport time, freshness, and inventory. Not just shortest path—smartest path.
When routes fail, vehicles break down, or demand spikes, the infrastructure adapts in real-time. The network keeps running.
In African cities, food doesn't follow straight lines. Wheat shipments get stuck at ports for weeks due to customs delays and documentation issues. You order 50 tons of flour and 35 arrive with no explanation. Prices spike 40% overnight with zero notice. Grid power that's scheduled for 4pm-10pm actually arrives (maybe) 6pm-8pm. Supply chains are fragmented. Last-mile routes are informal and constantly shifting. Demand is hyperlocal and volatile.
Breadbasket's infrastructure is an adaptive routing and logistics system that learns from real-world movement—how food actually reaches homes across cities—and makes that human intelligence programmable. The system is built to route around constraint failures: optimising simultaneously for energy availability, transport costs, product freshness, and vendor inventory. It doesn't predict chaos away. It absorbs it, adapts to it, and finds workable solutions.
The infrastructure bridges the physical chaos of urban food systems and a programmable, continuously optimisable network. It's not software pretending the chaos doesn't exist. It's systems designed to work within it.
Our targets reflect the harsh realities of operating in cities where energy is intermittent, supply chains fragment without warning, and failure cascades through communities.
Service availability maintained despite load-shedding, grid failures, and unreliable supply.
The constraint we design around. In DRC cities, power is intentionally cut hours each day.
The platform recalculates routes, schedules, and resources when constraints shift.
We're seeking exceptional people—engineers, operators, system thinkers—to build the infrastructure that makes food systems intelligently coordinated, resilient, and abundant. We're also seeking partners who believe in solving this at scale.
