Santa Cruz Works Accelerates Graduate Invited to Pitch at Bay Angels

The folks at Fonda Technologies must have been jumping out of their skins with excitement recently. Why, you ask? Because they were hand-picked to strut their stuff at Bay Angels' June pitch event! Once upon a time, you might have known them as The Apptopus, but they've since undergone a bit of a metamorphosis.

Fonda's mission is like a superhero's: to arm Latino and minority-owned restaurants with the kind of online commerce prowess typically seen in the behemoth restaurant chains of the world. How are they pulling off this David vs. Goliath scenario, you ask? Through a genius blend of software and services, all wrapped up in one neat package.

They're helping restaurants take online orders, build and fine-tune menus, configure online business listings, keep an eagle eye on online revenues, and bundling all that up under one umbrella. It's like they're serving up a one-stop-shop for every restaurant's online needs.

And it looks like Fonda's taken a leaf out of a bestselling novel - they've got "Fame" on the left and "Fortune" on the right, paving a golden path ahead for them. The spotlight's on, and the world's waiting to see what Fonda will cook up next!
