About ZanziLIFT

ZanziLIFT is an upcoming e-hailing and food-delivery service provider preparing for launch next December. Our mission is to deliver a modern, efficient, and accessible platform connecting riders, drivers, restaurants, and customers seamlessly.

We currently have a fully developed white-label platform, technically complete and ready for immediate rebranding and customization. With technology already in place, our main focus is now on market rollout, strategic partnerships, and operational launch.

To accelerate this process, ZanziLIFT is seeking a committed Seed Investor to join us at the early stage and help bring this vision to market at scale.

Role Overview

The Seed Investor will play a pivotal role in taking ZanziLIFT from a fully built product to a fully operating company. With the technical foundation already completed, we are seeking someone who can support funding, strategy, and market activation.

Working closely with the founding team, the investor will contribute strategic insights on launching a mobility and food-delivery ecosystem, establishing early traction, and preparing for rapid expansion post-launch.

This is a rare opportunity to invest in a startup with extremely low development risk, as the core platform is already completed.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide seed-stage funding to support branding, operational setup, marketing, and launch activities.
• Guide the founding team on go-to-market strategy, customer acquisition, and market entry planning.
• Offer strategic advice on scaling the white-label platform into a strong, localized brand. Support the creation of financial models, unit economics, and pricing structures.
• Introduce the team to industry networks, potential partners, and additional investors. Participate in high-level strategic decisions during launch preparation and early rollout. Offer ongoing mentorship and support as ZanziLIFT grows into new markets.

Qualifications

• Experience as a seed, angel, or early-stage investor, especially in tech, mobility, delivery, or SaaS.
• Strong understanding of platform-based business models and marketplace economics.
• Ability to assess financial forecasts, budgets, and market opportunities with clarity.
• A collaborative mindset and willingness to guide an early-stage team.
• Existing networks in tech, logistics, transportation, or investment circles (preferred).
• Passion for supporting innovative, scalable digital platforms.

What We Offer

Opportunity to become a founding investor in a startup with a fully developed platform ready to launch.

Equity stake based on contribution and involvement.

Reduced technical risk due to having a ready-made, rebrandable white-label solution.

Ability to influence strategy, brand identity, and operational rollout.

Close collaboration with a driven founding team focused on market impact.

Strong long-term growth potential as the platform expands across regions.
