Feeding a gap in the market with Mumm’s cooking
Through his online food market, Mumm, Waleed Abd El Rahman introduced nutritious food from home kitchens to the fingertips and lips of Egyptian lovers of mothers’ cooking. Following a degree in Business Administration from the American University in Cairo and 15 years of food-tech experience, this FMCG whizz turned to entrepreneurship. Mumm channeled a growing sharing economy, technology, and “cloud kitchens” to meet the demand for affordable, healthier options in the popular fast food market. In a country where women experience 24% unemployment, Mumm’s supplier network of 200 home-based cooks across Cairo provided income and business support for women, including Waleed’s mom.
