Tobias Alejandre won one of our #DraperFoundersPrograms by Draper House Americas & Draper Startup House back in 2023, as co-founder of iMenu. Since then, he's achieved amazing things with restaurants & bars, a vertical that still lacks a comprehensive, modern tech stack to support its operations. An in-person, informal conversation with him on our YouTube channel, as one of our #DraperFoundersSpotlights on #StartupSounds: https://lnkd.in/d48g6SAp Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
