Since its pre-seed round in 2022, Leta has recorded 5x revenue growth, facilitated 4.5 million deliveries, and has helped move over 150,000 tonnes of goods across its markets.
Its latest funding round was led by Speedinvest, with participation from Google’s Africa Investment Fund and Equator.
Leta’s expansion comes at a time when African logistics companies are shifting towards technology for service delivery—from hardware-intensive approaches to asset-light, software-led models.
n a region where high delivery costs and fragmented supply chains remain the norm, businesses are increasingly seeking intelligent, data-driven platforms to boost efficiency and lower costs.
Rather than simply scaling fleets, Leta is betting on smarter fleets. Its SaaS-based solution enables organizations to achieve operational efficiency without the heavy capital outlay traditionally associated with logistics infrastructure.
Leta is fast growing into a B2B logistics SaaS powerhouse, as it digitizes supply chains and modernizing trade and transport across the continent.
