Online sellers in Egypt may soon get faster, steadier delivery. Logistics startup Turuq has raised a Seed round, and its founders say the money will go into people, systems and capacity.
Turuq Innovations, an Egyptian logistics and fulfilment firm for online brands, has raised a Seed round from Den VC. The amount was not shared. The deal comes a year after Turuq joined InvestIT, a programme that prepares startups for investors. Turuq says it will spend the money on technology, bigger fulfilment centres and a wider reach in regional logistics.
Turuq runs one platform that covers storage, stock tracking, packing, nationwide shipping and last-mile delivery. It offers live tracking, automatic dispatch and better courier routes. It serves a growing number of online brands across Egypt. Founders Ahmed Atta and Karim Kamal started it so online sellers would not need to build their own logistics.
The new money has three goals. The first is to grow its teams and core roles. The second is a micro-fulfilment model, which uses tech to handle more orders with less effort. The third is to reach more online businesses and test new products and regions.
“With this investment, we’re committed to building a stronger foundation at Turuq,” Atta said. He said the firm is investing in its people, tightening operations and building reliable systems so online founders can grow with confidence. Kamal said the funds will help Turuq serve its team, its merchants and their customers better.
The route to this round is worth noting. Egypt’s IT agency ITIDA and its innovation centre TIEC run InvestIT. Flat6Labs powers it. InvestIT trains startups in fundraising, business models and data room prep. It also helps graduates meet investors.
The round fits a wider trend in Egypt. Egyptian startups raised about $327 million in the first half of 2026, says Africa: The Big Deal. That makes Egypt one of the top funding markets on the continent. Logistics is a busy field. Anyone who sells online needs goods stored, packed and delivered, and many small sellers cannot afford to do it alone.
Why it matters: Online selling only works if the parcel arrives. Small brands in Egypt often struggle with storage, packing and delivery as orders grow. A fulfilment partner that does those jobs lets founders focus on their products and customers. The deal also shows that programmes which prepare startups for investors can lead to real rounds.
What to watch next: the size of the round, new fulfilment space, any move into other regions, and how the micro-fulfilment model works in practice.
