Howard Alum's New AI Platform Connects Restaurants, Influencers, And Diners
Briefly

Troodie is an AI-powered social commerce platform that links influencer content directly to real-world diner behavior and measures which marketing efforts drive customer visits. The platform provides sales-based attribution, first-party diner data, and a curated marketplace that matches restaurants with creators by audience fit and performance. Users can discover, filter, and collaboratively curate restaurant recommendations through Communities. Troodie aims to make discovery more personal and to convert authentic creator-driven word-of-mouth into measurable traffic and sales. Founder Taylor Davis, a Howard University and Cornell MBA alum, launched Troodie in Charlotte during National Black Business Month.
I'm so excited to finally introduce Troodie to the world. We built Troodie for travelers and foodies (Troodies) who love to explore new places through food,
Unlike solutions where reviews are generic or bookmarked restaurants get lost, Troodie makes discovery more personal, easy to filter, and collaborative.
For restaurants, it means being discovered by the right diners at the right moment, turning authentic word-of-mouth into measurable traffic and sales,
One of my favorite features is how users can join Communities and share and curate recommendations together. It truly brings the joy of connection through food and travel into one place.
