Moroccan and French mobility startup Enakl has raised $2.3 million in seed funding to expand its shared transport services and launch a new Software as a Service (SaaS) platform for transport operators and policymakers.
The round was finalised in December 2025, following a $1.4 million pre-seed raise in December 2024. The seed round brings in three new Moroccan investors, Azur Innovation Fund, Witamax, and MFounders, alongside returning backers Catalyst Fund and Digital Africa.

Enakl says the new capital will be used to strengthen its commercial teams, test new development models for its ridepooling fleets, and prepare for the launch of its SaaS product. The software was initially built for internal use to manage shared transport operations and is now being packaged for external customers.
“This SaaS layer is the software we first built for ourselves to run our shared mobility operations,” said co-founder Charles Pommarède. “We are now turning it into a product that transport operators and policymakers can use to design routes, allocate vehicles, and monitor performance in real time.”
Enakl offers a pre-planned commuting service that allows users to book shared rides on minibuses running on fixed routes across Moroccan cities.
The seed funding marks a strategic shift for the company from being purely a fleet operator to becoming a broader mobility operating system for shared and collective transport.
“Enakl addresses a structural challenge in mobility and fleet optimisation with a strong technological and operational approach,” said Adnane Filali, Managing Partner at Azur Innovation Fund. “The team and the quality of execution in a fast-growing market fully align with our early-stage investment thesis.”
Enakl also plans to experiment with alternative ridepooling fleet models as part of its growth strategy.
“Until now, our fleets have relied mostly on traditional operator contracts, which are capital-intensive and rigid,” Pommarède added. “We are now testing a model that combines self-employed drivers, vehicle financing, and tight operational control through our platform to reduce costs and respond faster to demand.”
With its SaaS platform, Enakl aims to complement existing public transport systems rather than replace them.
“The objective is not to replace public transport, but to complement it where fixed infrastructure cannot adapt quickly enough,” Pommarède said.
