Easy Taxi, Rocket Internet's Latin American Hailo, Comes To Africa With Another $10M In Funding

Easy Taxi, a Brazil-based Hailo-like app incubated by the Samwer brothers' Rocket Internet, is today announcing a $10 million round of funding and plans to tackle a whole new market: Africa, along with more expansion also in Asia and the Middle East. It is starting first in Nigeria, a country of 180 million people and one Africa's the biggest in terms of economic growth. The announcement follows news from last week in which Rocket Internet itself got an injection of $500 million, specifically to help build out its startups in emerging economies.
