About ENAKL

Enakl is a Moroccan mobility company based in Casablanca that runs shared minibus commuting. Users enter a departure point, workplace and arrival time in its apps and receive pickup details for a minibus stop a short walk from home. Algorithms and real-time data are used to plan routes and manage occupancy. Disrupt Africa reported in December 2024 that Enakl operated only in Casablanca. The company describes itself as Moroccan and French.

Samir Bennani and Charles Pommarède founded Enakl. Wamda's 2026 report and EcoActu give 2022 as the founding year, while Wamda's earlier report says it launched in Casablanca in September 2023. Ahmed Omrane joined later as chief technology officer. Bennani previously founded the Moroccan mobility company Ma-Navette.com, according to the Startuplist Africa directory. The company's website names 22 Mobility Maroc as the entity behind the brand.

Enakl sells seats to individual commuters and builds custom routes for employers, mainly for staff transport. The founders initially financed it themselves. Disrupt Africa reported that the network grew from five to 55 daily routes after a pilot and that more than 100,000 paid bookings had been processed, while Wamda reported more than 15,000 bookings a month in December 2024, growing about 20 percent a month. In 2025 Enakl won its first public pilot contract, with the Casablanca-Settat Region. The company says it plans to be present in five major African cities by 2030.

In December 2024 Enakl announced a $1.4 million pre-seed round led by Catalyst Fund, with Renew Capital, Digital Africa, Station F and 15 business angels. A $2.3 million seed round was finalised in December 2025 and reported on 28 January 2026. Azur Innovation Fund, Witamax and MFounders led it, and Catalyst Fund and Digital Africa reinvested.

Enakl said it would use the seed money to strengthen its commercial teams, launch a first software-as-a-service product for operators and large enterprises, and test new ridepooling fleet models.
