Best Transportation and Logistics Tech Companies in Kenya
The 59 best Transportation and Logistics Tech companies in Kenya in 2026, ranked by funding and momentum. Funding, investors, founders, valuation, tech stack and live signals. Top: Lori.
Kenya's Transportation and Logistics Tech scene is more competitive than the funding headlines suggest, and this directory ranks the 59 companies we track by disclosed equity and recent momentum. Total disclosed funding sits at $124M across the sector, but two names swallow most of it: Lori at $45M and BasiGo at $40M account for roughly two-thirds of the capital pool, leaving the rest of the field, Sendy ($27M), AmiTruck ($5M), Leta ($3M), GoBEBA ($300K), to compete hard for a thinner slice. The global market that underpins all of this was valued at $7.6B in 2017 and is forecast to reach $13.0B by 2027 at a 6.5% CAGR, driven by IoT adoption, mounting e-commerce volumes, and expanding regional trade agreements. So the tailwinds are real.
What I find telling is the app-layer signal. Median install growth across 691 logistics and transportation apps is running at roughly +20% YoY, which tells you demand is pulling hard at the consumer end. And if you're watching theme-level coverage, road safety and crash-related reporting is surging, a trend that's quietly shaping regulatory pressure on fleet operators and digital freight brokers alike. Active investors here, EchoVC Partners, Mobility 54, C4DLab, CFAO Group, and DFS Lab, are placing bets in a market that has no unicorn yet. That gap is either a warning or an opening, depending on how you read it.
