Anyone can import bikes. Few can build the operating system underneath them.
Wahu manufactures in Accra, runs a software platform that codifies fleet operations, and holds a sovereign Article 6.2 carbon offtake with Switzerland. We're meeting investors now ahead of a first close in July 2026.
As featured by CNN Connecting Africa — inside the Accra factory building Ghana's first electric vehicles.

"Wahu is one operating system for African mobility — built in three layers. Hardware on the road. Playbook in the software. Intelligence across both. We're the team building it."
We start with a 20-minute conversation. If there's mutual fit, we share a tailored briefing — deck, finance memo, and unit economics — and walk you through the round. Data room access follows once we've aligned.
