Kwik Delivery is an on-demand, last-mile delivery platform that connects African businesses to independent delivery riders, dubbed Kwiksters, has closed $ 1.7 million pre-Series A financing round in equity from institutional and high net worth investors to expand into new markets.
Launched in 2019 and trading as Africa Delivery Technologies SAS, the Kwik platform is currently open to Kwiksters operating in Lagos and Abuja.

The firm recently launched its just-in time delivery service to businesses, government agencies and merchants in Abuja, promising 1-hour delivery through its fleet of bike delivery partners and also provides access to a host of reliable, efficient and trusted 4-wheels vehicles.
