Episode 35: When kitchen meets code: Building Tech with Purpose with Azrah Manji-Savin

In this episode of Friends of FEADies, we sit down with Azrah Manji-Savin, co-founder of Syzl and Volli AI, to explore the intersection of food, tech, and purpose-driven entrepreneurship. Azrah shares how she’s building tools that support underrepresented food founders—both by helping them access commercial kitchens and by simplifying daily decision-making through customized AI.

We chat about productivity hacks, food trends (hello chili oil, goodbye dill pickle soda), and the importance of staying grounded through community and culture. Azrah also opens up about the power of having a complementary co-founder, why leadership means embracing vulnerability, and how comfort food connects us to home.

Food Entrepreneurs, restaurant owners, and CPG Founders this one is for you!
