Backers including Visa are wagering that a logistics platform can win where cash have stalled.

Why it matters

Capital buys time; execution buys the market.

For most founders, the lesson isn't the raise — it's the discipline around board management that made it possible.

If it works, the playbook travels — to Ethiopia and beyond.

What to watch next

  • Whether Andela can hold margins while it chases 80% retention.
  • Whether the Series B buys enough runway to reach the next milestone.
  • How the a logistics platform performs outside the launch market.

The bet is placed. The market will settle it soon enough.
