We’re building more than a ride-hailing app.
Transportation in Africa is rarely just about getting a ride.
A person may need a ride to work, send a package to a customer, rent a vehicle for the weekend, pay digitally, or figure out how to get home using public transportation.
Today, these needs are often handled separately.
ZIPP is building a single mobility ecosystem designed to bring those experiences closer together.
The platform we’re developing.
ZIPP Ride
On-demand private transportation.
ZIPP Logistics
Delivery and movement of goods for individuals and businesses.
ZIPP Rentals
Access to vehicles for people who need transportation beyond a single trip.
ZIPP Transit
Digital access to participating government transportation services, including CNG buses, with booking, route discovery, payments, and passenger information.
ZIPP Payments
Integrated digital payment experiences designed to make transactions across the ZIPP ecosystem simpler and more convenient.
Our goal isn’t to copy an existing mobility company and put a different logo on it.
We’re building around the realities of the markets we intend to serve.
That means thinking about availability, affordability, local payment behavior, driver economics, public transportation, business deliveries, and the infrastructure required to make all of them work together.
ZIPP is starting from Calabar. Akwa Ibom is next. Nigeria is where we scale. Africa is where we’re headed.
We’re not trying to win by claiming to be the biggest.
We’re trying to build something that fits the market better. ZIPP is being designed around several realities of African mobility:
People use different forms of transportation depending on the trip.
A commute, a delivery, a weekend rental, and a government bus journey are different needs — but users shouldn’t have to navigate completely disconnected systems to handle them.
Public and private transportation can coexist.
The future of mobility isn’t necessarily private ride-hailing versus public transportation. We believe technology can connect both.
Payments should be part of the experience.
Moving people and goods creates constant transactions. Building payment capability into the ecosystem creates a more connected customer journey.
Local economics matter.
ZIPP is being built with African operating conditions in mind — from driver economics and payment preferences to infrastructure, transportation patterns, and government partnerships.
The opportunity isn’t simply to replace one ride-hailing app with another. It’s to build a mobility system that can support more of how people and businesses move.
We’re early. And we’re already seeing interest.
ZIPP has not launched publicly yet, so we don’t pretend to have active ride volumes or years of operating history. What we do have is early interest from the people we are building for.
More than 500 people have joined the ZIPP waitlist ahead of launch — an early community of prospective users who want access when the platform becomes available.
More than 100 prospective drivers are currently on our waitlist — an early pool of supply we can begin onboarding as we move toward launch.
Why that matters
We’re still at the beginning. Our current focus is turning this early interest into a reliable operating marketplace — onboarding drivers, preparing users, completing the product, establishing our payment infrastructure, and making sure the experience works before we scale.
We would rather show you what we have actually built than give you numbers that don’t exist yet.
This is our starting point — not our ceiling.
