{"id":98513,"title":"Menza: The AI Data Team for Fast-Growing Brands 🚀","tagline":"Menza works 24/7 to surface insights, build reports, and catch what you'd otherwise miss.","body":"**100% customer retention since April 2025. +234.9% MRR growth since January 2026.**\n\nWe don't lose customers. Here's why.\n\n**TL;DR:** Menza connects all of your data sources (yes, even the ones without APIs) and then works 24/7 to surface insights, build reports, and catch what you'd otherwise miss. On average, our brands use Menza **every other day.** Our top users use Menza **more than 90% of weekdays in a month.**\n\n**Demo:**[ https://youtu.be/zPrKVEaVJqo](https://youtu.be/zPrKVEaVJqo)\n\n### **The Problem**\n\nConsumer brands are drowning in data spread across 20+ tools. The fix? Hire a data analyst. Then another. Then an engineer. Then a BI developer. This gets expensive very quickly, so many brands fly blind, missing revenue opportunities hiding in plain sight.\n\nCurrent AI tools fail to make the most of this data because:\n\n1. They cannot integrate with every platform a company uses, key data often resides in a niche tool.\n2. They are not proactive. At best, they automate recurring tasks but fail to adapt to shifting priorities. The most valuable insights come from identifying what’s important _right now_ for the business.\n\n### **The Solution**\n\n**Menza connects all of your data sources (yes, even the ones without APIs) to give you an AI data team that never sleeps.**\n\nMenza works 24/7 to surface insights, build reports, and catch what you'd otherwise miss.\n\n**What Menza has actually done recently:**\n\n📦 Found that a company was losing 10% of its total revenue from stockouts and built a plan to fix it.\n\n📧 Spotted a 34% email performance drop and traced it to a single flow change, informing the company before it had a major impact.\n\n🏆 Revealed that a brand's \"top-performing retail employees\" were just benefiting from heavy foot traffic and therefore being overcompensated.\n\n### **Why Brands Stay**\n\nOn average, our brands use Menza **every other day.** Our top users use Menza **more than 90% of weekdays in a month.**\n\n\"_Menza has allowed us to scale massively across the US with a lean team, which would not have been possible before._\"\\\n— Rosie Willis, Product \u0026 GTM, yhangry\n\n\"_Menza has really helped me understand my business better. It's found patterns where I didn't see them._\"\\\n— Laura Rudoe, Founder \u0026 CEO, Evolve Beauty\n\n### **The Team**\n\n**Dr. Qasim Munye (CEO \u0026 Co-Founder)**\n\nPreviously founded ShortlyAI, one of the first commercial LLM applications, acquired by Jasper in 2021. Built that company solo while finishing medical school at King's College London. Yes, a medical doctor!\n\n**Mariam Ahmed (CTO \u0026 Co-Founder)**\n\nStarted her career on the Goldman Sachs trading floor, where she sold $1.2B in custom institutional trades in a single year, working directly with large enterprise clients. Won the Alan Turing Centenary Prize at King's College London, and left finance to build the data platform she wished existed. Forbes 30 Under 30 (2025).\n\nWe've worked in finance, tech, and with fast-growing consumer brands. We've felt the pain of fragmented data firsthand.\n\n### **What We're Looking For**\n\nWe're looking for intros to consumer brands (CPG, DTC, food \u0026 beverage, beauty, fashion) doing $1M+ in revenue. If you know someone drowning in spreadsheets or flying blind on their data, send them our way.\n\n👉 Contact us at [founders@menza.ai](mailto:founders@menza.ai)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=98513\u0026key=user_uploads/1218949/00bd1cad-b641-4196-9209-f128ebca3be5)\n\n","slug":"Pcv-menza-the-ai-data-team-for-fast-growing-brands","created_at":"2026-03-06T21:00:59.295Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T00:48:59.929Z","total_vote_count":1375,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Pcv-menza-the-ai-data-team-for-fast-growing-brands","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=98513\u0026key=user_uploads/1218949/00bd1cad-b641-4196-9209-f128ebca3be5","company":{"id":28879,"name":"Menza","slug":"menza","url":"https://menza.ai/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/0f36c0f6ef0c008a938907cd0f96219f189f90d4.png","batch":"Winter 2026","industry":"B2B","tags":[],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/28879"}}
