MENA's food distribution market is $200B. It runs on WhatsApp voice notes. ERPs older than TikTok. Orders processed by hand at 2am in 4 languages. We're building the AI OS underneath all of it. Today @Google backed us for their MENA + Türkiye Accelerator. linkedin.com/posts/openfarmi…

Buying a Chevy Bolt isn't going green, it's barely going chartreuse. An EV car needs to be on the road, replacing gas-car miles, to offset carbon emissions. This is why I created #HaloCars. 🌎 #utlizationMatters #climatechange #electricvehicles
