Anda, a mobility technology platform based in Angola, has secured €3 million in seed funding to accelerate its mission of formalizing the country’s vast informal motorcycle taxi sector. The round was co-led by European venture capital firms Breega and Speedinvest, both known for backing high-growth startups across emerging markets.
Founded by Sergio Tati and Joerg Nuehrmann, Anda is tackling one of Angola’s most pressing urban mobility challenges: the dominance of informal motorcycle taxis, commonly known as kupapatas. These vehicles are a primary mode of transport for millions, yet the sector remains largely unregulated and underserved by financial services.
Anda’s core innovation lies in its drive-to-own asset financing model, which enables motorcycle taxi drivers to gradually gain ownership of their vehicles. This approach not only provides drivers with a path to financial independence but also introduces structure and accountability into a fragmented market.
In addition to financing, Anda offers a ride-hailing platform and last-mile logistics services, catering to both individual consumers and businesses. By integrating digital tools with mobility services, the company aims to improve safety, reliability, and efficiency in urban transport.
Sergio Tati, co-founder of Anda, shared his perspective on the funding round, stating:
Our goal is to empower drivers with ownership, stability, and long-term economic opportunity. This funding will allow us to scale our operations, enhance our technology, and expand our impact across Angola.
The investment will be used to:
- Expand Anda’s fleet and financing programs
- Strengthen its digital platform and mobile app
- Grow its logistics and delivery services
- Onboard and train more drivers across key urban centers
With this funding, Anda is positioning itself as a key player in Africa’s growing mobility tech space, while contributing to broader goals of financial inclusion and urban development.
