Odiggo, an auto tech startup based in both Egypt and the UAE, has secured a $2.2 million seed round as part of the current YC Summer batch, according to TechCrunch.

Y Combinator, 500 Startups, and Plug and Play Ventures have taken part in the round, along with regional venture capitalists (VCs) such as Seedra Ventures, LoftyInc Capital, and CEO of Volta-Tucks Essa Al-Saleh.

“We believe we are at a watershed moment. It is incredible that since COVID hit, Odiggo has experienced over 10 times growth in the last year,” co-founder of Odiggo Ahmed Omar said.

The seed round will help the company to achieve growth while extending its footprint across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, Omar noted.

Launched by Ahmed Omar and Ahmed Nasser in December 2019, Odiggo operates a marketplace that connects car owners with providers of services from repair to washing and maintenance.

Odiggo is being used by more than 50,000 car owners across Egypt, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, and is directly dealing with over 300 merchants.
