Moroccan Startup Enakl Secures $1.4 Million pre-Seed Funding to Revolutionize Urban Mobility

Moroccan urban mobility startup Enakl has raised $1.4 million in pre-seed funding to advance its mission of offering safer, smarter, and sustainable collective transport solutions for daily commutes, both locally and internationally.
Founded in September 2023 by Samir Bennani and Charles Pommarede, with Ahmed Omrane later joining as associate CTO, Enakl seeks to transform commuting for millions of workers.
The platform offers accessible, shared transit solutions designed to reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions while improving reliability.
The funding round, led by Catalyst Fund, included participation from Renew Capital, Digital Africa, Station F, and 15 business angels.
The investment will fuel Enakl’s growth and support its expansion in Morocco and other African markets.
Currently in its pilot phase, the startup operates in Casablanca, managing over 15,000 bookings monthly with a growth rate of 20% per month.
Enakl plans to extend its services to additional cities across Africa.
“This funding enables us to deepen our impact in Casablanca, expand our reach, and accelerate technology development,” said co-founders Bennani and Pommarede.
“By leveraging AI, we aim to optimize routes, enhance commuter experiences, and drive sustainable urban mobility solutions.”
Catalyst Fund’s operating partner, Maxime Bayen, praised Enakl’s scalable, tech-driven model for addressing African urban challenges.
“Enakl is transforming urban transit by reducing emissions and congestion through shared transport solutions. In a climate-conscious world, it represents a leading example of sustainable, inclusive mobility for African cities,” Bayen remarked.
