Egyptian online auto parts marketplace Mtor has secured $2.8 million in pre-seed funding, led by venture capital firm Algebra Ventures, with participation from notable investors, including Dutch Founders Fund (DFF), Aditum Ventures, LoftyInc Capital Management, and several prominent local and global angel investors.

By catering to the needs of both mechanics and car owners, Mtor aims to provide faster deliveries, accurate data, and a simplified workflow for mechanics.

The company is tackling Egypt’s massive automotive after-sales market, valued at over $5 billion and considered one of the largest in Africa and the MENA region.
With an ageing fleet of 8 million registered vehicles and an average car age exceeding the global average, car owners in Egypt spend over $600 annually at the country’s 35,000+ car workshops and service providers. This immense demand presents significant untapped potential.
