Careem is building the Everything App for the greater Middle East, a region where daily life was once fragmented across dozens of apps and services. Founded in 2012, Careem started by solving a fundamental problem: the lack of reliable transportation in cities from Dubai to Karachi. But the mission was always bigger. Today, Careem's Super App unifies ride-hailing, food delivery, grocery shopping, digital payments, and more - simplifying the lives of over 50 million customers across 70+ cities in 10 countries.
What makes this mission urgent is the scale of impact. Careem has created earning opportunities for over 2.5 million Captains (drivers and delivery riders), many supporting families in regions with limited economic mobility. After being acquired by Uber for $3.1 billion in 2019 and securing $400 million from e& in 2023, Careem is proving that world-class technology companies can be built in the Middle East, creating jobs and inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs across Morocco to Pakistan.
