Otito Atansi and Lily Lynch are the cofounders of Sankara, an online food marketplace serving Saint John, Fredericton, Moncton and Halifax. Otito is originally from Nigeria and Lily is from Halifax. They started a Nigerian food stall at an outdoor Saint John market several years ago, surrounded by other vendors selling food from around the world. That inspired them to create an e-commerce and marketing platform to help those vendors grow their businesses and share their food and culture more widely.
