ShapShap, Nigeria’s on-demand delivery startup has secured a seed extension investment to grow the logistics business.
The new funding is an investment of V8 Capital Partners through its Growth Labs Fund I and adds up to the undisclosed seed investment the startup received from Germany-based GreenTec Capital Partners last year.
The new funding is expected to accelerate expansion as the startup looks to grow its last-mile delivery for businesses and individuals in Nigeria as well as enter other African countries.
