The infrastructure layer for how African cities run.
Travo is building the booking, logistics and payment rails for everyday services in Nigeria — one platform where consumers and businesses move goods, book transport, store stock, and pay on proof. Twelve verticals live. Asset-light by design. Ecosystem economics from day one.
The investment thesis
Africa's service economy runs on phone calls, cash and hope. The company that digitises it — bookings, logistics and trust — becomes infrastructure.
Massive, underserved demand
220M+ Nigerians and millions of SMEs need delivery, transport and daily services that today are fragmented, informal and untrusted.
Multi-vertical from day one
B2C and B2B revenue across logistics, mobility, commerce, utilities and software — no single-vertical concentration risk.
Asset-light and scalable
A verified partner network of riders, fleets and vendors carries the CapEx; Travo owns demand, standards and the transaction.
Trust as the moat
SecurePay escrow with physical inspection at collection — a trust layer competitors without ground operations can't copy.
Data-driven operations
Tracking, digital payments and demand aggregation compound into pricing power and retention across every vertical.
Impact at scale
Every transaction funds livelihoods — riders, drivers, vendors and trained HDV professionals entering the formal economy.
Not a courier app. A trade flywheel.
Travo sits inside a working commerce group — so the platform that moves goods can also source them, store them, protect the payment, and train the drivers. Each business feeds demand to the next.
Source
Goods bought wholesale feed straight into delivery demand.

SecurePayTrain
The Driver Academy supplies the network's scarcest input.
Travo Academy…and trained drivers, trusted payments and stored stock generate the next cycle of transactions — retention built into the model, not bolted on.
Six revenue lines, one platform
Diversified take: transaction fees where volume lives, margin where value concentrates, recurring where relationships form.
Delivery & dispatch fees
Per-job revenue on the highest-frequency consumer and SME transactions.
Haulage & freight margin
Higher-ticket B2B trucking, construction and agricultural corridors.
Storage & fulfilment
Recurring monthly revenue per pallet, shelf and picked order.
SecurePay fees
Percentage fees on protected jobs, purchases and commodity trades.
Travel & concierge
Booking margin on flights, corporate travel and high-touch itineraries.
Academy tuition
Driver training cohorts in Lagos & Port Harcourt — B2C and fleet B2B.

Foundations are live and transacting. The raise funds city expansion, vertical depth and the SecurePay trust layer.
