Egypt’s Mylerz Raises $2M To Scale Logistics Infrastructure

Egyptian logistics startup Mylerz has raised more than $2 million in debt and equity funding to expand its logistics infrastructure across Egypt, adding fresh capital to a company that is trying to make e-commerce delivery more reliable in one of North Africa’s largest consumer markets.

The round was led by Lorax Capital Partners, with participation from Fawry and existing investors. Mylerz, founded in 2019 by Samer Gharaibeh, provides end-to-end e-commerce logistics, fulfilment and last-mile delivery services through a technology platform for merchants.

The company previously raised $9.6 million in 2022. This new round is smaller, but strategically useful: it strengthens the company’s balance sheet, supports working capital and funds fulfilment infrastructure, network capacity and technology investment.

E-commerce does not work without delivery. It is easy to focus on apps, payments and marketplaces, but the real customer experience often depends on whether a parcel arrives quickly, safely and affordably. In markets with traffic congestion, cash-on-delivery habits, fragmented addressing and uneven warehouse capacity, logistics becomes the hard part of digital commerce.

That is why Mylerz is interesting. It is not simply a courier startup. It is building fulfilment and last-mile capacity around merchant needs, which can make it easier for online sellers to promise same-day or next-day delivery.

Egypt has the scale to make this important. A large population, dense urban centres and a growing online retail market create demand for logistics networks that can handle volume without breaking service quality.

Fawry’s participation is worth noting because logistics and payments increasingly belong together. Merchants need to receive orders, collect payments, reconcile deliveries and manage returns in one flow. If payments and logistics remain disconnected, small businesses spend too much time solving operational problems instead of selling.

Across Africa, fintech and logistics are beginning to overlap more directly. Remittance companies are using stablecoin settlement, payment firms are moving into merchant services, and logistics companies are becoming data platforms for commerce.

The recent TechBooky article on LemFi and BVNK moving diaspora payments onto stablecoin rails is part of the same broader shift: African digital businesses are rebuilding the hidden infrastructure behind everyday transactions.

Logistics startups can burn capital quickly. Warehouses, sorting capacity, vehicles, staff, fuel, technology and customer support all cost money before the network reaches full efficiency. A $2 million raise can help, but execution will matter more than the headline.

Mylerz must prove that it can scale capacity while keeping delivery times, costs and merchant service quality under control. Same-day and next-day delivery are powerful promises, but they can become expensive if route density, fulfilment accuracy and returns management are weak.

The company also has to compete with regional logistics players, marketplace-owned delivery networks and informal courier options. Its advantage will come from reliability, merchant tools and the ability to make fulfilment predictable enough for online sellers to build their businesses around it.

Egypt is not only a local market. It is a strategic logistics country because of its population, regional links and position between Africa, the Middle East and Europe. Startups that build strong domestic infrastructure can later become useful partners for cross-border commerce.

This is why investment in fulfilment capacity matters. African e-commerce will not grow only because consumers download more apps. It will grow when the physical rails behind those apps become dependable.

Mylerz’s new funding is therefore a practical African tech story. It is not as flashy as frontier AI, but it touches the real plumbing of digital commerce: warehouses, routes, merchants, payments, delivery promises and customer trust.
