MARAMOJA is leading a revolutionary movement toward a socially-powered on-demand economy, built on Africa’s core values of trust and relationships. This captures something of what we do, but belies why/how we do it. MM believes in universal access to trusted, affordable, culturally relevant on-demand transportation as the transformational leapfrog of the next 10 years, as mobile phones have defined Africa’s last 10 years.
One of the MARAMOJA Transports main product is the MARAMOJA Taxi App which is a location based Taxi App that enables you and your friends to select your favorite drivers who will always be offered to you anytime they are nearby and you need to go
If you are feeling lucky you also get to discover other great drivers from over 30k trusted drivers in our platform and enjoy new experiences.
Our solution solves THREE fundamental problems.
1. Everyone wants a taxi nearby when they want to go.
2. Everyone wants to deal with people they can TRUST.
3. Everyone wants the luxury of a private driver at the cost of a taxi.
To ease the impact of inefficient transport and logistics across Africa, MM digitally replicates existing cultural models for accessing transport via trusted connections - serving as an honest broker, an aggregator, and value added platform. By leveraging phone data and social media, MM is ushering a new era of sharing economy, access to the services people need through the people they already trust.

DAI invests in seed and early-stage technology companies with high growth potential. We are a fully-capitalised member-managed investment company made up of more than 100 power angels. We are passionate about entrepreneurs and teams that can take their ideas from proof of concept to traction to scale to exit with drive, energy, laser-focused determination and ambition.
Together, we leverage our collective experience as well as our extensive network of contacts to add value to our investees through our ability to open doors and to mentor them.
As initial investment, DAI typically deploys between $100,000 to $250,000 in our portfolio companies but our members can, and frequently do, personally co-invest alongside DAI. Total investment amounts can therefore range from $100,000 to $3,000,000 in a first round. We always look for opportunities to co-invest alongside established venture funds with whom we have close relationships. We are happy to act as lead investor where appropriate or required. Integral to our strategy is to double-down on our star performing portfolio companies by participating in the Series A or bridge rounds. We have already undertaken 8 follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies including 4 at Series A.
We are very sector agnostic. As long as you are engaging with your customers via proprietary technology and you have a capital-efficient vision to scale the business, we will consider investing in your company.
