About Bosta
Bosta was founded in 2017 as a technology-first company redefining last-mile logistics — and has since evolved into a full-stack e-commerce enabler across Egypt and MENA. While Bosta continues to lead in delivery with an asset-light, tech-driven model and an industry-leading 85%+ success rate, its impact now goes far beyond logistics. Bosta serves a wide spectrum of merchants — from independent social sellers to global players like Amazon — but focuses primarily on SMEs and social commerce, which contribute majority of total revenues. Today, Bosta empowers merchants at every stage of their journey: from instant cash reconciliation via Bosta Wallet, to working capital solutions through Bosta Capital, and faster fulfillment via Bosta Fulfillment. With this ecosystem of technology-enabled services, Bosta is building the infrastructure for e-commerce growth — not just delivering parcels, but enabling businesses to thrive.
