Brand: City Rydes Limited
Kisumu, a county in Kenya, has a population of 409,928. Up until 2014 there was no local errands & deliveries company in this county. David Otieno & Morris Cerrullo, Co-Founders of City Rydes Limited, developed a successful business idea which now enables residence as well as corporates to have trusted errand runners. David & Cerrullos progress in only 18 months has been remarkable, the need for expansion of his production is obvious. City Rydes Limited has had a great business start thanks to its mentor Ricky Umegbolu.
It has been great being one of the entrepreneurs of the Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Program (TEEP 2015). Thanks to Tony Elumelu Foundation (TEF) and the mentorship by Ricky Umegbolu!
We have received first class entrepreneurship training, my business plan has been professionally evaluated by Accenture, and I was mentored on business expansion. I received $ 5’000 seed investment and it has really transformed our business.
City Rydes Limited specializes petty errands & deliveries services. The company plans to build a strong market position in the City, due to the owner industry experience and mild competitive climate in the area of within city organized logistics. The business offers various services such as...

The business has been successful after receiving the TEEP training and weekly mentorship on business expansion and management and it has continued to grow and it has already hired 4 full-time employees to handle customer demand and day to day operations. The business has also managed to acquire two new bikes and create an online platform for easy scheduling of errands – CITY RYDES APP. Our biggest challenges will be to meet market demand and acquire enough capital to expand the business.
Thanks a lot to the Tony Elumelu Foundation and my mentor Rick Umegbolu, as well as to Bert Evers from www.expectmoreinternational.com. The TEF journey to develop Africa by Africans has started.
