First Investment: 2015

In regions of Africa with sparse internet or financial infra­struc­ture, the e‑commerce revolution is still just beginning. Copia has built a network of more than 40,000 agents in Uganda and Kenya who help with ordering and delivery of retail goods for customers in rural and peri-urban communities, including many customers who are unbanked and have little access to conven­tional shopping. Customers (who are mostly women) get access to basic commodities, while agents (who are also mostly women) see an increase in income.
