Yassir, a versatile marketplace offering on-demand services such as ride hailing, food and grocery delivery, banking, and more, has secured $150 million in Series B funding from a notable group of global investors. Leading this investment is BOND, with contributions from us at DN Capital, Dorsal Capital, Quiet Capital, Stanford Alumni Ventures (also known as Spike Ventures), and Y Combinator, among other strategic backers.
In the five years since its inception, Yassir has amassed a total of $193.25 million in funding. It now stands as the most valuable startup in North Africa and ranks among the most highly valued companies in Africa and the Middle East. With this latest injection of capital, Yassir is poised to expand its operations further throughout the region.
Noureddine Tayebi, the Founder and CEO of Yassir, explains, “Yassir, which means ‘easy’ in Arabic, embodies our company’s mission to simplify people’s lives. In the markets where we currently operate, we have already made a significant impact on how individuals manage their daily routines. We eagerly anticipate extending our footprint into new regions and becoming the first super app to achieve widespread adoption.”
