Copia Global, an e-commerce platform and the parent company of Copia Kenya has entered administration, in what is another major hit to start ups funded by venture capitalists.

In its wake, in excess of 1,060 workers will be fired due to lack of new capital required for its operational sustainability, bringing to the fore the growing challenges being faced by entrepreneurs in the country.


The company that has been serving low and middle-income customers through a network of agent seeks to action organizational re-structuring to ensure the sustainability of its operation and or a possible shutting down of its operations.

Uncertain times ahead
In a notice dated May 16, 2024, the company’s CEO Tim Steel (pictured) termed the future of the company as uncertain and urged workers to undertake a one-month consultancy period.

“It is very likely that there will be a reduction of our workforce and it is possible that the payment of salaries could be at risk. The company is required – in compliance with the law -- to give all staff one month notice of potential redundancies and to undertake a one-month consultancy period with all potentially impacted staff,” Steel said in the letter.

The firm which has gobbled up in excess of Sh15.4 billion in seed capital was founded by Tracey Turner and Jonathan Lewis as a B2C e-commerce platform to serve Africa’s middle- and low-income African consumers.

The e-commerce company focuses on customers in rural areas that struggle to access the same goods and services in terms of choice, price value and reliability that similar consumers in urban areas or of higher income levels can access.

Some of the investors in Copia include Koa Labs, Goodwell Investments, German Investment Corporation (DEG), Perivoli Innovations,Lightrock, Zebu Investment Partners and U.S. International Development Finance Corporation.

Copia joins a growing group of financially crippled companies that have either shut down their operations in the country and or have restructured, sending hundreds of workers to desolation.

The backdrop of Copia’s current predicament is framed by its notable performance and funding history.


The company was established as a solution to serve mid- and low-income consumers in rural areas garnering attention for its innovative approach.

Growing list
With a network of over 50,000 local agents, the firm has served over 2 million consumers and fulfilled over 13 million orders, reflecting its penetration into underserved markets.

The company’s downfall joins a growing list of companies such as Twiga Foods and Kune Food that laid off all or a substantial part of their workforce amid losses and inability to raise additional capital.


With increased appetite for new taxes from business enterprises to facilitate payment of debts, development and recurrent expenditures, the number of young companies sent into the graveyard in the country may continue to increase this year.

The logistics sector in Kenya and globally continues to evolve, but in these closures, valuable lessons for both entrepreneurs and investors abound, emphasizing the need to navigate challenges carefully and maintain agility in the face of changing circumstances.

You're absolutely right..... It's said that it's best to keep quiet and be thought a wise man, than speak and clear all doubts. Asiwaju is the perfect example of this adage!

Prior to 2023, y'all lots spoke of how he's a city boy, a first class this or that, but I tell you he's a little better than an idi°t, to the extent that a small boyi boyi in Onitsha will fare better managing Nigeria than him!

Asiwaju has cleared all doubts! Even shame no let he appointees promote am!

Ofemannnu:
You lamented more than this before the general elections with every obstacle known in the way of Tinubu even Buhari and his cabal until the last minute when it dawned on Buhari That he is helpless against the jet-speed fast moving train of Tinubu and his team.
Obi,Atiku and their co horts will be crushed in 2027 again because a lot of people will rush and be happy to vote Tinubu In 2027 because of his performance in this first term.

For the sake of foolish irresponsible people who can vote domestic donkey when told to, the merger will work!

With Atiku comes Kwakwaso, Lamido, Sanusi and several other northern weights!

Asiwaju is toast come 2027.... Even if he appoints Aunt Remi as INEC chair, Asiwaju will still be thrown out in 2027...

ibechris:
If the hunger hasn't reset peoples head enough no one would get sense.

This merger must work before this country is destroyed completely.

See the way APC is looking for money up and down to the extent of borrowing from IMF,Afdb,pension fund and name it,and even raising tax just to get more without recourse to the population.

This is certainly the first time since 1999 when a sitting president attempted to destroy the economy through clueless incompetent decisions that is stressing the citizens in no mean measures. This also, is the first time a sitting president is forseening how the next election would play out even though he's yet to be on seat for one year!

Blame his cluelessness and incompetent employees for this. According to Africa's richest man, Dangote, Naira floating is one of the biggest mess, in lay man's word, foolishness yet of this Asiwaju Govt. Not done, ACF, fired another shot of how Asiwaju is destroying the gains of Buhari......my goodness.... Buhari gains? Yes, according to Rufai Oseni, a prominent OAP, Asiwaju is making Buhari look like a good leader!

Why won't all these fine gentleman complain? One, Dangote today is poorer, all thanks to Asiwaju cluelessness. Rufai feels less happy because he has now, far too many people to dash money or gifts now and then be they may not be as privileged as he is!

In other news, one of the Abido Shaker in the north, HE Atiku's Abubakar has signaled his wish to support HE Peter Obi for 2027. Amongst AA partners include Kwakwaso Rabiu, the strong man of Talakawas and current gate keeper of Kano state, Lamido, Sanusi and a host of others.

According to what we learned, a disenfranchised El Rufai, one of the people who fought to have Asiwaju in power is currently nursing his wounds with a war chest of $100M, planning on how to fight back and give Asiwaju a mortal wound in 2027....

Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the upcoming 2023 election, has revealed that he may extend his support to Peter Obi, his Labour Party counterpart from the previous election, in the 2027 election.

Currently engaged in merger talks with opposition political parties, Atiku expressed his willingness to back Obi if he is chosen by the party as their candidate.

This announcement comes after a meeting between Atiku and Obi, which has sparked speculation about a potential merger of opposition parties leading up to the 2027 general elections.

The move to align opposition parties in an effort to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming election has been confirmed by Atiku, who emphasized the possibility of merging to achieve a common goal.

If the new party decides to allocate the presidential ticket to the South-East region and selects Peter Obi, Atiku stated that he would not hesitate to support him.

Atiku further reiterated his commitment to abide by the party’s decision, as he had previously stated that he would not contest the presidential ticket if it was zoned to the South or South-East.

However, he did participate in the 2023 presidential ticket race as it was open to all party members.

He may never have enjoyed the sales offer by supermarket before..... That's why. And to think this is one of the supporters of Asiwaju. They want to reduce everyone to their levels.. poverty! Tell how people no suppose patronize supermarket for items like these?

Where I live, common tomatoes, banana, bread, avocado are all sold at the supermarket, not to talk of processed Dutch products like Peak!

Check 90% of Asiwaju supporters, they're mostly never do well kind of people!

saddler:
Are the people buying from supermarkets not Nigerians?

Are they aliens?

I won't be surprised.....

He don defend failures till he reach peak milk. I tell you the man no normal.

phorget:
At least make him give us him ”APC” price nah, I'm sure the APC price of that milk wont be up to 7000naira.

The first time he actually said something reasonable, which might be true! After much disturbance, his friends decided to pool money together and take him out...not to Sheraton or Marriott, but to a local buka for a twisted mix of indomie and fried eggs, possibly with no glass of milk to shake down the mix...

Yet, he still has the audacity to support bad leadership and bad economic policies, year in, year out!

This one na follow come curse ni!

72virginGATEWAY:
Imagine saying him and him friends chop indomie, somebody when APC share biscuit and bigi cola for him hide the Coke from him mama

Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣 he may be right... "His friends".... We all know he doesn't have shishi, after many otimpkpu...dobale.....his friends finally decided to go drown him with indomie. Chaiii indomie & eggs is now luxury food for Naija!

He better go learn carpentry.

72virginGATEWAY:

phorget:
Oya display your own price of that same milk size and let's see the difference.

He doesn't know that he's an epitome of bad choice....a choice which is wrecking businesses and ruining lives!

GuyWise101:

Bruhnnn make we ask Hellinus about the e-currency he say he dey deal on..... These are the kind of people supporting Asiwaju...and Buhari. Jobless, skill less nairaland residents!

Doracity82:
Helinues, I will not leave you alone. I will troll you till you deactivate your account here and leave nairaland. Stop being Jobless.

Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 the shock is still reverberating across continents! People dey talk, even a palmy drunkard join sef!

Check out people supporting Asiwaju, all of them get k-leg! If them no be tief, them go be drunkard, if them no be drunkard, them go be werey!

As soon as sane, hard working people with jobs put heads together to make life more bearable for everyone, including old men without jobs! And this means chasing out Asiwaju in 2027!

helinues:
When would the wailers stop wailing bayi nitori olorun?

See how northerners are throwing Asiwaju under the bus, not up to one year of Asiwaju misrule. But these sh@meless haters of progress were busy defending Buhari failure up to this moment!

I swear na follow come curse be this one for this kind people!

Despite the disadvantage confer on them through religion, northerners still love Good things and this is what Buhari managed to hold till he left!

Buhari was more prophet than you dear! But wait fess...even Buhari wasn't this clueless!

vanbonattel:
Another long lamentation session about Tinubu maladministration, funny

I didn't waste my precious time reading the long lamentation published by Sahara

Why should I waste my time when I was here shouting myself hoarse, predicting exactly what this Oga is lamenting about today some 2 years ago.

I am a prophet

For eight solid years, they were busy defending failures. No surprises at all that they'd be defending this failure too!

beejaay:
It was still people like you that defended him back then.. You defended darling daddy for 8yrs even when it was glaring of the failures and now u are on it again..

Enjoy this pic from your Umahi.... Leader na leader any time, any day!

LexngtonSteele:
Soludo is hated because SE is used to low calibre leaders.

Orji Uzor Kalu, Theodore Orji, Ikpeazu... Peter Obi can't be janitors in any other region.

Soludo and Umahi are the only exceptions since 1999. That's why they hate them so much.

Nigerians will support ONLY these 2 ibos if they run for Presidency.

Any other ibo.... c'est nest pas possible.

Soludo said Peter Obi was a serious failure. I believe him because Soludo had 1st Class and Obi is a 3rd Class dullard.

No doubt about that. Otherwise, how does he feel whitewashing Asiwaju after posting all these?

That werey no get shame at all.

Kanixt:
This boy Reno is confused now. "What the heck is going on?"

Just like you put your trust on who started from AD, then port to ACN before finally leveling out on APC kwo? Una shame dey shame me Biko!

Golan007:
Someone that jumps from party to party to further his sole ambition is who others would put their trust in.

Also, this weekend ticket don cut for am with what AA said!!!!

Let's go soft on him please, even with all the hard job given to him, Asiwaju still refused to fund him well.
