Gigmile Closes Seed Round To Scale Mobility Financing For Gig Workers In Africa

Gigmile, the mobility financing startup enabling gig workers across Nigeria and Ghana to own income-generating vehicles, has closed a seed round, led by a follow-on investment from ENZA Capital with participation from Seedstars International Ventures and Norrsken Africa Fund. The raise accompanies the release of Gigmile’s 2025 Impact Report, underscoring the company’s rapid scale and deep social impact.

Founded in 2022 by former Jumia executives Kayode Adeyinka and Samuel Esiri, Gigmile has quickly evolved into one of Africa’s fastest-growing mobility asset financing platforms. Its flagship lease-to-own product, Gamma Mobility, allows gig workers to acquire motorcycles, tricycles, cars, and commuter vehicles through an affordable structure that includes insurance, maintenance, documentation, and daily repayment capped at one-third of expected earnings.

Gigmile has deployed more than 10,000 vehicles, with 1,500 riders already owning theirs outright, supported by partnerships with Yamaha, TVS, Bajaj, and Hero. The startup reveals it has raised USD 21 M in combined debt and equity, operates in 13 cities, and is preparing for significant expansion in 2026.
