Our Story

We are Tupuca and this is a story and a journey shared by four aspiring African entrepreneurs looking to make a difference in society.

Tupuca means to indulge, a word derived from a local Angolan dialect. This word was the setting for what we envisioned multiple people doing, indulging in food, family, friendships and moments. This spurred us to think of how to efficiently bring this vision to the masses, while using existing infrastructure and human capital. Thus, Tupuca was born, a food delivery application that acts as a platform to connect the daily customer to their restaurant of choice, a simple yet effective idea. Furthermore, we seek to tackle an even bigger issue, which revolves around child hunger, this app will seek to take comprehensive steps to reducing the current staggering statistics that we are facing, this application will have a built in option that will allow the user to donate a chosen amount to a charity of choice.


Tupuca will create jobs in the logistic and administrative fields as well as offering expansion for our partnered restaurants and ultimately boosting the economy.

Our contributors would not only help bring convenience to an untapped Angolan market, but would also help provide an avenue for people to give back when they order using our application and create job opportunities as well.

What We Need & What You Get

Our app has come to live thanks to bootstrapping and many hours of work, all showed in our demo video we uploaded. As we are approaching the finish line we are unfortunately running out of fuel. A $20 000 injection would see us get across the line and successfully launch our app.


We have come up with exciting perks for our potential investors: these perks aim to make the donor/investor feel part of our journey. Tupuca will guarantee that your donation will find its way to the intended hands that need it the most.

The Impact

Through our interactive application, we create a comprehensive platform that aims to connect the users with multiple restaurants, ensuring them timely delivery of quality foods or pick up. Tupuca will look to solve daily inconvenient situations where staff has high food demands with very little time between breaks and traffic constricts movement, Tupuca will deliver nutritious meals to people in the workplace that might otherwise pass up lunch due to constraints and ultimately be less productive.

Job opportunities for young biker boys will be created through the demand for an adequate logistic network, getting them off the streets performing informal taxi work into being paid staff and professionals.

Addressing the bigger issue has never been easier, Tupuca’s built function for optional donation, we can make sure that you and I start taking steps towards solving pressing matters when it comes to child starvation. 

Risks & Challenges

With any innovation comes great risk especially in a developing country. Tupuca is taking into account the internal risk such as low technology adoption by the employees, miss-communication, and miss handling of funds. Our goal is to mitigate these risks by training our employees using the best practices from well-established industries.Convenience, innovation, efficiency, transparency, and honesty is embedded to our core believe and mission.

Externally, the major risks that we have to take into account are malfunction and high data usage of the application and website, failure of method of payment, low market acceptance, non-compliance by the restaurants, copyrights violations, and lawsuits. Malfunction and high data usage risks will be tackled from the design and creation stage during the prototype-testing phase. By providing different payment options such as cash, credit cards, mobile banking, and rechargeable membership cards will be able to serve a greater target market. Restaurants compliance will be improved by providing them a ready to use software in a tablet where they see and respond to the orders and reservation with minimum effort. Lawsuits and copyright infringement will be mitigated by hiring a lawyer which will help to create detailed copyrights, terms and agreements conditions that will protect our business.
