Donald Valoyi
Founder & CEO | Zulzi
Donald is a man who took a calculated risk and left his high flying job at FNB to invest more time into his start-up company. Through hard work, dedication, and strategic thinking, Donald turned his business dream into the successful reality it is today.
Zulzi originated out of Zulzi.com which was an e-Commerce platform focusing on students. Donald saw a gap in the market when they started selling books and electronics to students, delivering them within an hour. That’s when the idea of starting an on-demand delivery platform started. Zulzi is an on-demand delivery platform that enables people to buy anything from groceries, liquor, pharmaceuticals and food, and have them delivered within an hour.
