In a significant development, Moove, a company established in 2020 to address the vehicle financing gap faced by over two million Africans, has successfully raised $76 million in new funding. The funding comprises $28 million in equity from a blend of new and existing investors and is led by Mubadala Investment Company (Mubadala), the Abu Dhabi sovereign fund.
Moove- Remarkable Growth and Operations
Moove quickly became a crucial partner for Uber. It holds the title of being Uber’s largest vehicle partner in EMEA and the second-largest in India. Moove operates the largest electric vehicle (EV) fleet on Uber in the UAE, despite launching just four months ago. Remarkably, Moove’s revenue has grown 17 times since its Series A fundraising round two years ago.
Moove Funding Composition and Global Ambitions
Funds managed by BlackRock provide $10 million in venture debt. Over the past year, $38 million in undisclosed funds were collected. Moove will use this significant financial boost to further its mission. It aims to establish the largest tech-driven financial services platform for mobility entrepreneurs and enhance its global presence.
Co-founder’s Vision and Mission
Ladi Delano, Co-founder and Co-CEO of Moove, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership with Mubadala and BlackRock, outlining the company’s plans for further growth. Delano emphasized Moove’s focus on existing profitable markets and its commitment to enhancing customer experience and product development. Delano highlighted the aspiration to achieve group-wide profitability within the next year while continuing to create transformative opportunities for customers.
Endorsement from Investors and Market Potential
Mubadala’s Head of Ventures and Growth, Faris Sohail Al Mazrui, noted Moove’s significant impact on a globally underserved market. Al Mazrui highlighted the company’s scalable tech-enabled platform, which provides mobility entrepreneurs access to crucial financial services. This investment not only validates Moove’s ability to serve customers across diverse markets but also positions it as a key player in the evolving mobility sector, particularly in the context of electrification and shared mobility solutions.
BlackRock’s Managing Director, Sean Dunne, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing Moove’s potential to drive the electrification of mobility. Dunne underscored Moove’s role in facilitating access to finance and supporting the transformation of the mobility sector. As Moove continues to expand its global EV fleet and contribute to shared mobility solutions, it remains poised to spearhead transformative change in the industry.
