Chowdeck, Africa’s leading on-demand delivery platform, has secured $9 million in Series A funding to accelerate its expansion across Nigeria and Ghana and roll out a quick commerce strategy anchored on dark stores and hyperlocal logistics.
The Series A equity round was led by Novastar Ventures, with participation from Y Combinator, AAIC Investment, Rebel Fund, GFR Fund, Kaleo, HoaQ, and other global backers. The new capital injection will enable Chowdeck to deepen its coverage in existing markets, enter new cities, and speed up deliveries of food, groceries, and medicines to customers.
Founded in October 2021, Chowdeck has grown into a key technology partner for food and hospitality businesses in Africa, providing solutions that range from logistics and inventory management to payments and performance tools. With a network of more than 20,000 riders across 11 cities and over 1.5 million customers, the company currently completes most deliveries in an average of 30 minutes.
