Morocco-based urban mobility startup Enakl has successfully raised USD 1.4 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Catalyst Fund, with participation from Renew Capital, Digital Africa, Station F, and 15 angel investors.
Founded in 2022 by Samir Bennani and Charles Pommarede, and later joined by Ahmed Omrane, Enakl offers sustainable and collective transport solutions tailored to the needs of emerging markets. By leveraging Transport-as-a-Service (TaaS) technologies, Enakl integrates these solutions with traditional local transport options, such as shared taxis, to provide affordable, reliable, and convenient alternatives to public transportation in growing urban centres.
The startup’s focus is on tackling urban transportation challenges through AI-powered route optimization, which ensures that its services are efficient and adaptable to the evolving needs of the population. Enakl’s solutions prioritize sustainability, safety, and comfort, positioning it as a viable option for underserved populations in emerging cities.
The newly secured funding will allow Enakl to enhance its presence in Casablanca, expand its service offerings, and further develop its technology to improve urban mobility. The investment is in line with Enakl’s mission to transform transportation in emerging markets, addressing mobility gaps while promoting sustainability.
