ValGo only works if local businesses thrive on the platform. That's why vendor onboarding isn't a back-office process for us. It's a core part of our launch strategy in Ago Iwoye.

We're starting with restaurants and food vendors along the Ita-Merin corridor, where student foot traffic is highest. These are kitchens that already serve hundreds of students daily but have no way to reach the hostels and off-campus rooms where most orders originate.

Beyond food, we're onboarding grocery sellers from Ago Market, bakeries near campus gates, and shops that stock student essentials. Each vendor gets a dashboard to manage menus, track orders, and see what's selling, without needing technical skills or upfront fees.

Our vendor team works on the ground in Ago Iwoye, visiting businesses in person, setting up menus, and training staff on the dashboard. We believe the best partnerships start with face-to-face conversations, not cold emails.

If you run a restaurant, shop, or market stall in Ago Iwoye and want to reach more OOU students, join our vendor waitlist. Onboarding takes less than 48 hours, and there are no upfront costs to get started.
