Copia Global

Bringing the power of mobile commerce to low- and middle-income Africans

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.
