Morocco-Based Mobility Startup Enakl Secures $1.4 Million Pre-Seed
The funds will help expand the urban mobility startup’s AI-driven sustainable transport solutions in Casablanca and across Africa.
Enakl, a Morocco-based urban mobility startup, raised $1.4 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Catalyst Fund and supported by Renew Capital, Digital Africa, Station F, and 15 business angels.
Founded in 2023 by entrepreneurs Samir Bennani, Charles Pommarede, and later joined by Ahmed Omrane as associate CTO, Enakl is focused on transforming daily commuting in Africa by leveraging technology to provide safe, accessible, and eco-friendly transportation options. The startup also utilises artificial intelligence to optimize routes and improve commuter experiences.
“We recognise the problem Enakl is trying to solve in many of the cities we work in across Africa and feel strongly that the collective transportation solutions developed by Enakl are a key to solving these challenges,” said Adam Abate, CEO of Renew Capital.
The pre-seed funding will enable Enakl to deepen its impact in Casablanca, where the startup has already seen significant growth, with over 15,000 bookings per month and a 20% growth rate. Enakl also plans to expand its services to other cities across Africa.
