ORA Technologies, a fast-growing Moroccan superapp, has closed its $7.5 million Series A round, led by Azur Innovation Fund alongside three strategic local investors. The raise brings ORA’s total local funding to $11.9 million since January 2023—a record for a Moroccan startup—and signals growing investor confidence in the country’s homegrown tech ecosystem.

Founded in 2023 by Omar Alami, ORA operates as a superapp offering P2P payments, e-commerce, food delivery, chat, social networking, and a soon-to-launch digital wallet. The funding will be used to expand ORA’s last-mile logistics and scale its digital cash collection infrastructure, particularly in Morocco’s vast cash-on-delivery economy.

The raise follows a $1.9 million pre-Series A in March 2025, also led by Azur Innovation Fund and Witamax. ORA’s food delivery arm, Kooul, has gained 15,000 active users in 10 months, while its mobile wallet, ORA Cash, has onboarded 50,000+ users in 5 months, including delivery riders digitizing cash payments.

Key Takeaways

ORA Technologies’ funding milestone is not just a startup success—it reflects a larger shift in Morocco’s tech scene. With local VC capital mobilizing and increased public support via the Fonds Mohammed VI pour l’investissement, Moroccan startups are beginning to scale without relying solely on foreign investors. ORA’s multi-functional model mirrors Asia’s superapp playbook but is tailored to Morocco’s specific needs: affordable digital services, inclusive payments, and logistics innovation. The rapid traction of ORA Cash and Kooul highlights rising demand for digitized services in emerging markets—and the potential for Morocco to become a North African tech hub. Founder Omar Alami called the raise “a landmark achievement,” pointing to it as proof that local funding alternatives are viable even at later stages. With strong traction and product-market fit, ORA now eyes regional and international expansion, backed by growing investor conviction in “Made in Morocco” tech ventures.
