Algerian mobility startup temtem is bringing car-pooling to the North Africa region via a partnership with French company Karos.
Founded in 2017 by Kamel Haddar and backed to the tune of US$4 million in VC funding last year, temtem assists its 500,000 customers with its ride-sharing service. It is now rolling out a car-pooling service in partnership with Karos , the French leader in home-to-work car-pooling. The company is expanding internationally for the first time by teaming up with temtem.
The Karos ride-sharing app, adapted to the Algerian market and launched by temtem, made its first appearance on February 15 and already has more than 20,000 users. Karos will also be applying its French business model by launching Karos Entreprises, which helps companies optimise the daily
mobility of their Algerian employees.
“Urban sprawl and the limited public transport available outside city centres are global issues, which we are already addressing in France with proven results. The African continent represents a tremendous opportunity for our model, with a potential of more than 2.3 billion car-pooling trips per
year,” said Olivier Binet, co-founder of Karos.
