Young entrepreneurs launch Guyana’s 1st business review platform

With an aim of building a stronger community of trust between businesses and customers, a group of young Guyanese entrepreneurs have launched Guyana’s first business review platform for consumers and businesses in Guyana: ReviewIt.gy.
Built for businesses of all sizes, the platform was launched earlier this year, powered by Lugetech, a local tech company founded in 2015 by Ken Taylor, who had a vision to transform how businesses interact with technology.
Backed by his 11 years of experience as a software developer, Taylor teamed up with his friends and fellow programmers Sunaika Adolphus, Andre Blair, Kiewart Gulliver, and Clint Eastman.
The platform is built to connect people across Guyana by sharing real experiences and honest reviews. On the website, consumers can share their experiences, read authentic reviews, and discover the best recommended business places across Guyana. Businesses are then able to manage their feedback, respond to customers and keep their customer satisfaction ratings high.
“It’s newly launched, but we have been working on it for the past two years,” Adolphus shared in a recent interview with Guyana Times.
“As active social media users and steady supporters of local businesses, we decided to create a space where feedback is clear, accessible, and impactful. After two years of building, we’re excited to finally share ReviewIt.gy.”
An alum of St Stanislaus College, Adolphus wears many hats, aside from being involved in Lugetech. She also works as an event coordinator at Lodestar Inc, while she also freelances as a virtual assistant, graphic designer and customer engagement specialist.
Other members of the team at Lugetech are also just as multifaceted as Adolphus. Eastman works as a solutions architect with Amazon US, while Blair is also involved in engineering and business management at Anheuser-Busch Ab-Inbev, and Gulliver is involved in computer science.
Adolphus says that ReviewIt.gy is about empowering Guyanese consumers with reliable reviews and giving businesses a chance to exercise excellence in customer service.
“Each review helps others make better choices while supporting local businesses,” Adolphus noted.
“Our mission is simply to connect people and businesses through honest reviews, trusted feedback, and smarter choices. From restaurants and cafés to street food vendors, construction services, or even freelance electricians, ReviewIt.gy gives every business a chance to shine.”
For businesses looking to capitalise on the opportunity, Reviewit.gy offers verification badges, real-time review responses, insights, marketing tools, website widgets, and Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) features, giving local businesses a chance to build trust and reach the right audience.
“For business owners, the platform offers full control of your profile. While anyone can add a business, only the verified owner can claim it through a thorough verification process and manage it, showcase products and services, share promotions, and display locations with ease,” Adolphus explained.
“For consumers, ReviewIt.gy provides an easy-to-use space to share experiences with text, photo, or video reviews. Smart search and filters make discovery simple, while community features like rating, commenting, and following create deeper connections. Optimised for mobile and desktop, the platform is seamless, fast, and personalised.
