Copia Global

Copia Global was a Kenyan B2C e-commerce and last-mile distribution company founded by Tracey Turner and Jonathan Lewis to serve middle- and low-income consumers across rural and peri-urban Africa. Rather than a consumer website, it ran an agent-network model in which customers placed catalog orders through local agents using mobile and USSD technology, and Copia processed, aggregated, and delivered goods within days. Backed by investors including DCVC and Goodwell, the company raised a $50M Series C in 2022 to expand, but suspended Uganda operations in 2023, entered administration in May 2024, and was subsequently placed into liquidation. It exposes no public API, developer portal, or specification; its primary domain now resolves to a parked page. This profile is retained as a portfolio lead for network coverage.

Copia Global is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, E-Commerce, Retail, Logistics, and Last-Mile Distribution.
