About WaystoCap

 

WaystoCap was a Moroccan B2B cross-border marketplace designed to simplify trade across Africa by connecting businesses with verified suppliers and buyers internationally. Founded in 2014 by Niama El Bassunie and co-founders Aziz Jaouhari and Anis Abdeddine, the platform helped SMEs source goods such as agricultural products, textiles, and consumer goods while reducing friction in logistics, payments, and trust.

The startup became one of the earliest Moroccan companies backed by Y Combinator and raised multi-million-dollar funding from global investors. WaystoCap focused heavily on solving inefficiencies in fragmented African trade networks, offering a trusted digital infrastructure for procurement and sourcing. In 2021, the company was acquired by MaxAB, an Egyptian B2B marketplace, as part of regional consolidation in the African commerce-tech space.
