ORA Technologies, Morocco’s rising superapp star, has secured $1.5 million in seed funding from local entrepreneurs. Could this be the app that revolutionizes daily life for Moroccans?
Founded in 2023 by visionary entrepreneur Omar Alami, ORA is on a mission to become an indispensable part of everyday life. The app’s multifaceted platform offers a wide array of services, including P2P transactions, e-commerce, on-demand services, chat functionality, social networking, and soon, a digital wallet.
With over 300,000 downloads already, ORA is poised to make a significant impact. This new funding will accelerate the launch of their e-wallet, enabling users to transfer money instantly, thanks to a strategic partnership with M2T, a subsidiary of Banque Centrale Populaire. This partnership ensures secure and reliable financial transactions, marking a game-changer in Morocco’s digital financial landscape.
ORA’s intuitive interface and seamless user experience allow users to buy and sell goods, engage in chat conversations, connect socially, and order food delivery—all within one app. This comprehensive approach aims to bridge the gap between traditional and modern commerce, ensuring accessibility and inclusivity in the digital economy.
“This Seed round demonstrates the precious and important support we got from local successful entrepreneurs to scale this ambitious project of digital and financial inclusion,” says Omar Alami, founder and CEO of ORA Technologies. “Our mission is clear: to provide e-commerce and digital payments to all Moroccans, bridging the gap between traditional and modern modes of commerce, and ensuring accessibility and inclusivity in the digital economy.”
ORA’s marketplace feature also stands to benefit large vendors, small businesses, and service providers, enabling them to reach a wider audience and grow their customer base.
With a talented team of 25 software engineers, ORA Technologies is rapidly becoming an Open Innovation champion. Their expertise and dedication have driven partnerships with major groups such as Retail Holding, Pharma 5, M2T, and Banque Centrale Populaire.
