Menza

The AI data analyst for consumer brands

Menza is the AI data analyst for consumer brands. A brand like Hershey’s would connect all of their data sources and then we give them an AI analyst that works 24/7 looking for revenue opportunities, cost leaks, trends and anomalies.

100% customer retention since April 2025. +234.9% MRR growth since January 2026.

We don't lose customers. Here's why.

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.

The Problem

Consumer 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.

Current AI tools fail to make the most of this data because:

  1. They cannot integrate with every platform a company uses, key data often resides in a niche tool.
  2. 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.

The Solution

Menza connects all of your data sources (yes, even the ones without APIs) to give you an AI data team that never sleeps.

Menza works 24/7 to surface insights, build reports, and catch what you'd otherwise miss.

What Menza has actually done recently:

📦 Found that a company was losing 10% of its total revenue from stockouts and built a plan to fix it.

📧 Spotted a 34% email performance drop and traced it to a single flow change, informing the company before it had a major impact.

🏆 Revealed that a brand's "top-performing retail employees" were just benefiting from heavy foot traffic and therefore being overcompensated.

Why Brands Stay

On average, our brands use Menza every other day. Our top users use Menza more than 90% of weekdays in a month.

"Menza has allowed us to scale massively across the US with a lean team, which would not have been possible before."
— Rosie Willis, Product & GTM, yhangry

"Menza has really helped me understand my business better. It's found patterns where I didn't see them."
— Laura Rudoe, Founder & CEO, Evolve Beauty

The Team

Dr. Qasim Munye (CEO & Co-Founder)

Previously 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!

Mariam Ahmed (CTO & Co-Founder)

Started 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).

We've worked in finance, tech, and with fast-growing consumer brands. We've felt the pain of fragmented data firsthand.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for intros to consumer brands (CPG, DTC, food & beverage, beauty, fashion) doing $1M+ in revenue. If you know someone drowning in spreadsheets or flying blind on their data, send them our way.
