Egyptian quick-commerce platform Breadfast has raised $10 million from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in its Series B2 round, led by Novastar Ventures. The deal values the company at about $382–400 million.
Founded in 2017, Breadfast started as a baked goods delivery service before expanding into groceries and household essentials. The new funding will support the rollout of fulfilment centres in Cairo, Giza, Alexandria, and Mansoura, with plans to enter additional cities.
Breadfast handles nearly 1 million orders monthly for more than 300,000 active users and generated over $150 million in revenue in 2024. The company is also scaling Breadfast Pay, a fintech service offering savings, withdrawals, and branded payment cards, part of its strategy to evolve into a super-app.

Points clés à retenir
Breadfast’s latest funding round signals a push to dominate Egypt’s online grocery market while building a broader digital ecosystem. Its vertically integrated model—from in-house baking to last-mile delivery—has allowed it to control quality, manage costs, and scale order volumes quickly. With Breadfast Pay, the company is moving beyond retail into financial services, mirroring a super-app strategy seen in Asian markets. By offering payments, savings, and withdrawals alongside grocery delivery, Breadfast could deepen customer engagement and increase transaction frequency. The EBRD’s backing aligns with its mandate to support private-sector growth in emerging markets, and Novastar Ventures’ involvement underscores investor belief in Egypt’s growing e-commerce and fintech potential. If executed well, Breadfast’s dual focus could set a template for quick-commerce players in other African and Middle Eastern markets.
