ENAKL raised $2,3m in Seed funding, adding to an earlier $1,4m round.

Local investors backed its focus on “structural” mobility and fleet optimisation challenges.

Founded in 2022, it builds real-time shared transport networks now live on the ground.

A 2025 public-sector pilot in Casablanca–Settat marked a key milestone.

The funding supports SaaS launches, ridepooling trials and future expansion beyond Morocco.

Morocco’s shared mobility scene quietly notched up a solid win this week. ENAKL, a Casablanca-based startup working on smarter transport networks, has closed a $2.3 million Seed funding round, finalised in December 2025. This comes on top of an earlier $1.4 million raise completed at the end of 2024, giving the young company a bit more breathing room to push ahead.

The latest round brings in three new local backers – Azur Innovation Fund, Witamax and MFounders – while existing investors Catalyst Fund and Digital Africa doubled down with a reinvestment. Adnane Filali, managing partner at Azur Innovation Fund, said the decision was driven by ENAKL’s focus on what he described as a structural challenge in mobility and fleet optimisation, pointing to the team’s execution and the market’s pace of growth as a good fit for early-stage capital.

At its core, ENAKL is trying to solve problems many of us in MENA cities know all too well: traffic that goes nowhere, patchy access to transport, and long daily commutes that don’t help the climate cause. Founded in 2022 by Samir Bennani and Charles Pommarède, the company has developed its own tech to design, deploy and manage flexible shared transport networks in real time. After around 18 months of R&D, the platform is now fully operational and already in use on the ground.

One detail that stood out to me – and I reckon it matters – is ENAKL’s first pilot public-sector contract in 2025 with the Casablanca–Settat Region. For a mobility startup, working with public authorities is often a bit of a faff, so landing that deal feels like a genuine milestone rather than a press-release filler.

MFounders’ Ilan Benhaim framed his firm’s investment around the founding team’s transport expertise in Morocco and a belief that mobility is a key lever for both urban and rural development. He also pointed to the scalability of the model, with eyes on growth beyond Morocco. That said, expanding shared mobility across borders is rarely smooth sailing, so execution will be spot on if ENAKL wants to keep momentum.

The fresh capital will go towards strengthening commercial teams, launching the first version of a SaaS product aimed at operators and large accounts, and testing new development models for ridepooling fleets. From an Arageek reader’s perspective, this story lands close to home. I’ve lost count of the startup pitches I’ve heard across the region that promise to “fix transport”, well… this one at least seems to be turning pilots into paying contracts, which is definately a step in the right direction.

Whether ENAKL can scale fast enough in a crowded mobility landscape is still an open question. On the flip side, with local investors on board and proof points in the public sector, the company looks chuffed to bits to be moving from concept to concrete impact – and in Moroccan traffic, that’s no small thing.
