Technology group Yango announced on December 12, 2025, that it has invested in Ghanaian startup Gigmile, which specializes in financing and management solutions for last-mile delivery players. The investment was made through Yango Ventures, the group’s investment arm, and is intended to support Gigmile’s growth while strengthening Africa’s digital logistics ecosystem.
“Our experience in urban logistics gives us a strong foundation to help them scale responsibly and efficiently. We’re proud to support a team that shares our commitment to building practical, tech-enabled infrastructure across Africa,” said Daniil Shuleyko, chief executive officer of Yango Group.
Founded in Ghana in 2022 by Kayode Adeyinka and Samuel Esiri, Gigmile develops a platform for independent workers in the gig economy, particularly delivery riders and logistics operators. The startup enables them to access financed vehicles, software tools, and tailored financial services to improve productivity and economic stability. This positioning addresses a key challenge, as last-mile logistics remains one of the main constraints on the growth of e-commerce across the continent.
By improving access to equipment and digital tools, Gigmile aims to professionalize the sector and meet rising demand for delivery services in major African cities. For Gigmile, Yango’s backing is expected to accelerate growth and help consolidate its position in a fast-expanding market driven by the rise of e-commerce and on-demand services.
