Minute5

Minute5 (Minute 5 Delivery Limited) is a Ugandan e-commerce tech startup and food delivery service based in Kampala, known for an online platform that links local farmers and market vendors directly to consumers and businesses.

Core Focus and Business Model

Founded in 2018 by Jonathan Paul Katumba, the company's mission is to offer a convenient, fast, and affordable way for customers to purchase fresh groceries online and have them delivered to their doorstep.

Minute5 primarily operates through its website (http://minute5.ug) and mobile application. The platform uses an intelligent system to process orders through the nearest registered vendor or retail outlet in major markets around Kampala, ensuring fast delivery.

Social and Economic Impact

Supporting Farmers: Minute5 sources a significant portion of its produce directly from small-scale farmers, providing them with a consistent, ready market and helping to reduce post-harvest waste.
Convenience for Consumers: The service offers a wide variety of fresh food items (fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry) that customers can order without physically going to the market.
Technological Innovation: The company has been recognized for its innovative use of technology, winning the MTN App Challenge in 2019, which helped it integrate seamless mobile money payment options (MTN and Airtel Money).
