Moroccan mobility startup Enakl has secured $2.3 million in Seed funding as it positions itself to scale intelligent shared transport solutions across urban centers. The round, finalized in December 2025, reflects growing investor interest in efficiency-driven mobility models tailored to emerging markets. The raise brings Enakl’s total funding to $3.7 million following a $1.4 million pre-Seed round completed at the end of 2024.
Funding Round and Investor Backing
The Seed round was led by three new Moroccan investors, Azur Innovation Fund, Witamax, and MFounders, with follow-on participation from Catalyst Fund and Digital Africa. The mix of local and international capital highlights confidence in Enakl’s execution and relevance to regional mobility challenges. Investors pointed to the company’s technology-led approach and early commercial traction as key drivers behind the investment.
Company Background and Vision
Enakl was founded in 2022 by Samir Bennani and Charles Pommarède, later joined by Ahmed Omrane, with a mission to rethink how people commute in congested urban environments. Rather than competing with ride-hailing platforms, the company focuses on collective, optimized transport for home-to-work travel. Its model aims to reduce congestion, lower emissions, and improve access to employment through shared mobility.
Technology and Product Development
At the core of Enakl’s offering is a proprietary technology platform developed over 18 months of research and development. The system designs, deploys, and manages flexible shared transport networks using real-time data and optimization algorithms. This approach allows operators to balance route efficiency, vehicle occupancy, and user convenience more effectively than traditional transport models.
Market Positioning and Use Cases
Enakl positions itself between private car usage and rigid public transport systems, targeting inefficiencies in both. Its solutions are designed for companies seeking structured employee transport and for public-sector actors aiming to modernize urban mobility infrastructure. By focusing on predictable commuter flows, the startup addresses a structural segment often overlooked by consumer-focused mobility platforms.
Public-Sector Traction
In 2025, Enakl reached a notable milestone by securing its first pilot public contract with the Casablanca–Settat Region. The project marked one of the company’s earliest large-scale engagements with regional authorities. This collaboration signaled increasing openness among Moroccan public institutions to technology-driven transport solutions.
Investor Perspective
Azur Innovation Fund Managing Partner Adnane Filali described Enakl as addressing a structural challenge in mobility and fleet optimization through a strong technological and operational approach. Investors also emphasized the founding team’s deep understanding of the Moroccan transport landscape. According to MFounders’ Ilan Benhaim, the company combines local expertise with a scalable model suitable for both domestic and international expansion.
Strategic Shift Toward SaaS
A significant portion of the new funding will support the launch of Enakl’s Software-as-a-Service platform. The SaaS product will allow transport operators and large enterprises to license Enakl’s optimization technology to manage their own fleets. This shift is intended to improve scalability and margins while reducing dependence on asset-heavy operational models.
Expansion and Deployment Plans
Beyond the SaaS launch, Enakl plans to strengthen its commercial teams to accelerate customer acquisition. The company also intends to test new ridepooling fleet configurations to improve vehicle density and service efficiency. These initiatives are expected to support both private-sector contracts and future public-sector deployments.
Enakl is operating at a time when urban congestion and decarbonization have become economic and policy priorities rather than optional goals. Its focus on shared, optimized mobility aligns with ESG objectives pursued by corporations and regional governments alike. With fresh capital, institutional backing, and early public-sector validation, Enakl is positioning itself to play a growing role in shaping Morocco’s future mobility landscape.
