TERRA TECH Ltd. (Terra), a trailblazer in the Electric Vehicle (EV) Industry within the MENA region, successfully concluded its seed funding round, securing $2 million from a consortium of strategic angel investors. This marks a significant milestone for the startup as it enters the revenue generation stage. The funds raised will be utilized to bolster both the physical and technological aspects of Terra, enhancing customer experiences and solidifying relationships with key stakeholders. Additionally, the capital will be instrumental in establishing new connections in anticipation of the upcoming Series A funding round.

Specializing in e-mobility solutions for corporations, Terra offers a comprehensive battery-swapping and recharging platform, coupled with a lineup of electric vehicles.

The recent funding will support upgrades to Terra’s electric motorbikes and battery-swapping concept, incorporating feedback from extensive testing to align with evolving market needs. Furthermore, the startup aims to source its next batch of electric motorbikes and secure patents for its innovative intellectual property, focusing on unique design and technological processes.

On the user front, Terra intends to enhance its mobile application for riders and dashboard features for cloud-fleet management operators in the last-mile sector, aiming to provide a seamless experience.

Internally, Terra is committed to establishing a well-defined organizational structure, promoting streamlined communication, and ensuring strategic alignment of roles and responsibilities to support long-term objectives.
