Congolese logistics startup Noki Noki recently raised $3 million in a seed funding round led by Uma Ventures. Founded in 2021 by Jonathan Yanghat, Noki Noki offers various logistics services, including Noki Food for meal delivery, Noki Drive for supermarket shopping, and Noki Pay, an integrated payment interface. This financing will allow the startup to expand its operations in its six current markets and strengthen its presence in new regions, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Noki Noki aims to revolutionize the logistics sector in Central Africa by offering innovative and accessible solutions. The $3 million in funding is a crucial step to accelerate its growth and improve its existing services. The startup focuses on using technology to optimize delivery and payment processes, making logistics services more efficient and affordable for businesses and consumers.
With this new funding, Noki Noki plans to expand its operations not only in the DRC, but also in other African markets where the demand for modern and efficient logistics solutions is growing rapidly. The startup intends to invest in cutting-edge technologies and strengthen its teams to support this rapid expansion. The strategy also includes improving existing services to retain customers and attract new users through a diversified and integrated service offering.
Noki Noki’s expansion could transform the logistics landscape in Central Africa, facilitating trade and improving access to goods and services for local communities. By making logistics services more accessible and efficient, Noki Noki helps stimulate the local economy and create employment opportunities. Additionally, the innovation brought by this startup could inspire other companies to adopt technological solutions to solve logistics challenges in the region.
