Moroccan urban mobility startup Enakl has secured a $1.4 million pre-seed funding round led by Catalyst Fund, with participation from Renew Capital, Digital Africa, Station F, and a consortium of angel investors. This strategic investment underscores Enakl’s mission to address urban congestion and carbon emissions through intelligent, sustainable shared transit solutions.

Founded in September 2023 by Samir Bennani and Charles Pommarede, and later joined by Ahmed Omrane as associate CTO, Enakl is transforming commutes for workers in Morocco and beyond. Its platform leverages artificial intelligence to optimize routes, enhancing both commuter experience and environmental sustainability.

Currently operational in Casablanca, the mobility startup has achieved impressive milestones. It handles over 15,000 monthly bookings with a 20% growth rate and is set to expand its services to other African cities. Enakl’s innovative approach aligns with Africa’s growing need for scalable and inclusive mobility solutions.

“This funding allows us to deepen our impact in Casablanca, expand into new markets, and accelerate technology development. Our vision is to redefine urban mobility with solutions that are not only sustainable but also highly accessible,” said co-founders Bennani and Pommarede.


Catalyst Fund’s operating partner, Maxime Bayen, highlighted Enakl’s impact, saying, “Post-urbanization challenges demand bold, scalable solutions. Enakl’s model enhances mobility while reducing emissions, paving the way for a greener, more inclusive future for African cities.”

With its strong foundation and visionary leadership, Enakl is poised to reshape collective urban transportation, setting new benchmarks in sustainability, innovation, and accessibility. This funding propels the startup’s ambition to become a leader in Africa’s urban mobility landscape.
