Jise, a Nigerian food-only delivery platform, has raised $100,000 in angel funding from investors in Europe and Nigeria. The startup has also launched operations.
The funding had participation from investors such as Winston Capital (Ireland), Backroom capital (Nigeria), Jonny Enagwolor, and Co-founder Treepz Inc.
Founded this year (2021) by Marvellous Gbenro (CEO), Tokurah Majid, Ibukun Olasupo, and Jeremy Osazuwa, Jise is a food delivery platform that connects customers with local and national businesses. The startup is modelled after Doordash a food delivery company in the United State or Deliveroo in Europe with the sole focus on delivering meals within 25 minutes.
“At Winston Capital, we are always looking for the best teams to invest in and at Jise, we see it as a great opportunity to invest in a great team. We are delighted to continue to support the start-up ecosystem in Nigeria with our second investment on the continent. The Jise team led by Marvellous is building the Just Eat or Doordash of Nigeria and we are excited to be part of their journey,” Leonard Lynch said.
