In this episode, we have a conversation with Bomani Mintz, Founder & CEO of Crave It based in Los Angeles, California. The driving force of Mintz's business is to ensure that food creators and food lovers have a space where people can easily find and share the best places to eat based on recommendations. Since college Mintz wanted to build a business and make an impact on his surrounding community, leading him to take on many risks before starting an app for foodie lovers

“I want to make sure that food creators and food businesses truly have a home. I want to break down cultural barriers and I think the best way to do that is by breaking it literally with food, dishes, and understanding who we are as a people,” Mintz said

Mintz's passion started as a side hustle, taking photos and videos for restaurants, and event companies. Later on, he started looking into how to get to Silicon Valley eventually landing a job at LinkedIn. Working as a Mid-Market Enterprise Customer Success Manager at LinkedIn, Mintz acquired the skills necessary to create a successful business focused on tech and food

For Mintz, consistency has become a key factor in creating innovative, disruptive ideas for a business at the intersection of food and tech
