Nigeria’s Gokada raises $5.3M round for its motorcycle ride-hail biz
In many large cities across Africa, motorcycle taxis are as common as yellow cabs in New York. Gokada has trained and on-boarded more than 1,000 motorcycles and their pilots on its app that connects commuters to moto-taxis and the company's signature green, DOT- approved helmets. The startup has completed nearly 1 million rides since it was co-founded in 2018 by Fahim Saleh — a Bangladeshi entrepreneur who previously founded and exited Pathao, a motorcycle, bicycle and car transportation company.
