Order what you need. A trusted nearby runner gets it to your doorstep.
TORMAME is a Ghana-focused platform that connects people who need items bought or fetched with nearby people willing to fulfil those requests for a commission.
A walkthrough of the sender and runner experience — from posting a request to confirmed delivery.
A large number of daily errands in Ghana are too small, too local, or too informal for traditional delivery platforms — yet they still matter deeply to customers.
"Today, many people in Ghana still rely on phone calls, favors, or ad hoc arrangements to get simple things bought and delivered. That creates friction, uncertainty, and missed economic opportunity."
A sender posts what they need bought and where it should be delivered.
A nearby runner accepts the task.
TorMaMe calculates pricing transparently. The sender prepays; funds held in escrow.
Payment is released after delivery confirmation.
Together, rising internet access, mobile money usage, and urban density create the conditions for a trusted, mobile-first errand marketplace in Ghana.
Smartphone and internet access make app-based demand possible at scale.
Mobile money makes collection, escrow, and payout viable.
Urban density improves matching efficiency across our proximity-based model.
Rising comfort with digital payments reduces adoption barriers significantly.
Percentage of item price on every completed transaction.
Priority delivery or higher-trust profiles.
Local shops, pharmacies, and convenience sellers.
Office errands, recurring purchases, and business accounts.
Urban, urgent, small-basket, on-demand errands in Ghana:
A large connected population, growing digital payment usage, and high urban concentration create favorable conditions for Seamless, app-based fulfilment in Ghana. We are currently refining TAM, SAM, and SOM estimates based on launch-city assumptions, mobile-connected user segments, and pilot-zone density.
TorMaMe does not depend on owning a logistics fleet, allowing us to launch more capital-efficiently and expand through marketplace density.
Designed for everyday, informal errands — not only restaurant or merchant networks.
Mobile money and bank rails integrated into the core transaction concept.
Escrow and one-time confirmation code build trust between strangers.
Pricing model designed for Ghanaian distance and fulfilment behavior — built around local transport realities.
Designed specifically for Ghanaian user behavior and transport realities — not a copied marketplace.
TorMaMe creates measurable community impact in three ways.
TorMaMe enables flexible earnings for people who can walk, use public transport, or drive — broadening who can participate in the digital economy.
Helps households get items they need without requiring personal transport — especially valuable in dense urban areas.
Broadens participation in digital commerce through a low-barrier fulfilment model that doesn't require merchants or vehicles to participate.
"A modest grant can help TorMaMe pilot a practical, income-generating, convenience-improving service in Ghanaian communities while creating pathways into digital work."
TorMaMe has been built with a mobile-first product flow and core backend architecture in place. Payment and identity verification integrations are the next major steps toward pilot launch.
We have built TorMaMe to MVP stage using lean resources and free-tier tooling. This funding will move us from demo readiness to real-world pilot validation — completing the integrations and operations needed to test with real users in Ghana.
Our founding team brings together engineering, product, and growth expertise — with internships at Meta, AWS, and Intuit, and prior startup experience. We are building TorMaMe as a local-first platform because we understand the problem firsthand.
We are raising $10,000 to move TorMaMe from MVP and demo stage to a pilot launch in Ghana. These funds will support reliable hosting, payment integration, identity verification setup, and early launch operations needed to test the product with real users. Our goal is to validate demand, complete initial transactions, and refine the trust and fulfilment model in a focused launch zone before expanding further.
We welcome conversations with early backers, pilot partners, community organizations, and Ghana-focused operators.
We'd love to hear from investors, partners, and community members.
