Africa's mobility platform for commercial driver vehicle subscriptions
MAX operates a mobility-tech platform connecting commercial drivers across Africa with vehicle subscriptions, anchored in Lagos with 501–1,000 employees. The tech stack is enterprise-grade (AWS, Azure, Cisco, VMware) but hiring velocity is minimal—only 2 roles posted in the last 30 days across a 34-person active pipeline—suggesting either plateau or internal focus. Project inventory tilts heavily toward operations (maintenance, cash flow, asset recovery, driver onboarding) over product development, and pain-point list centers on vehicle maintenance quality and last-mile logistics, indicating the platform is scaling operations faster than engineering.
MAX is building Africa's largest mobility-tech platform, launched in 2015 from Lagos. The business model centers on vehicle subscriptions for commercial drivers—particularly in hyperlocal logistics and on-demand delivery—with stated ambition to reach 100 million Africans. The company operates across Nigeria and Japan, and serves commercial operators in the moto-taxi and delivery verticals. Active projects reflect a heavy operations focus: staff recruitment, finance onboarding for new delivery partners, cash flow modeling, and asset recovery logistics. Current challenges span vehicle maintenance quality, cost-effective procurement, driver welfare management, and last-mile delivery efficiency.
MAX uses Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Sage 300, AWS, Azure, Linux, Cisco, VMware, and GPS for operations and data management.
MAX is headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria, and also hires in Japan.
