About SafeBoda
SafeBoda is a rapidly growing consumer platform that is revolutionizing transportation, payments and on-demand services in Africa’s cities. At the click of a button, SafeBoda provides a safe, more convenient, mobile-first transportation platform for Africa’s booming young population.
At the heart of Poblenou (the center of innovation and technology in Barcelona), and 600m away from the beach, SafeBoda opened late 2018, the Barcelona Tech Hub.
We are a venture-funded company, just completing Series B financing, which is already having a huge impact on millions in East Africa.
In November 2018, SafeBoda was announced among the 2018 AppsAfrica award winners at an event held in Cape Town, South Africa. SafeBoda beat four startups from Nigeria and South Africa to become the Best African App.
