YASSIR - On-Demand Mobility in Africa
Application software download free Android
YASSIR is an all-in-one app that manages users daily activities. It allows them to book rides, order food and groceries and carry out financial transactions. The platform is currently present in 45 cities worldwide and has 8 million active users. It was founded in 2017 by Noureddine Tayebi and Mahdi Yettou.
The app is available in both iOS and Android platforms. Users can use it to book a ride from any location and to pay for the service with their preferred payment method. They can also track their driver on the map to ensure that they will arrive at the destination on time.
Currently Yassir offers a fleet of over 10,000 drivers providing on-demand mobility to consumers and businesses. The company’s goal is to provide safe, reliable and affordable transportation in cities across Africa.
In its latest round of funding, Yassir raised $150 million. This was the largest amount ever raised by a North African startup. The investment was led by BOND, a high-profile venture capital firm. Other participants in the round included Dorsal Capital, DN Capital, Stanford Alumni Ventures and Quiet Capital.
Yassir’s strategy is to continue building out its multifaceted Super App model in the on-demand space. It is focused on expanding its presence in existing markets while also introducing new products to address the needs of users in each market. In particular, the company is interested in introducing financial services to its user base, following the playbook of Southeast Asian Super App Grab.
