- Teliman — Teliman has launched the very first on-demand taxi-moto service in Bamako, connecting urban commuters with professional drivers (trained, equipped and fully insured) in Africa’s fastest growing capital (Bamako). Rather than “disrupting” the local eco-system, Teliman aims at developing innovative solutions to create shared value for a communitywhere public transportation is highly insufficient and 600,000+ passengers struggle every day to commute. Having gained the trust of Toyota Tsusho Corporation (via CFAO) and local investors in pre-seed, Teliman aims to provide a safe, convenient and affordable solution for Mali and West-Africa.
Untapped connects global investors, and foreign capital to opportunities in emerging markets. Delivering competitive returns, and measurable impact for global investors.
