The round was led by Naspers Foundry, Cathay AfricInvest Innovation Fund and Japan’s SBI Investment. Wuri Ventures and Capria Ventures also participated investing $1.5m. This investment comes a year after the company raised a $7.5 million Series A round from investors including Google and Toyota Tsusho.
