Swoop

Swoop (formerly Thumo) is an African super-app building toward a single consumer platform for everyday commerce, starting with same-day food delivery and online shopping in Lagos, Nigeria (Yaba, Surulere, Gbagada and surrounding areas) and Eswatini, where it launched in 2025 and became the country's largest ecommerce platform. The app offers real-time order tracking, transparent upfront pricing, in-app support, and payments via card, bank transfer and OPay, with plans to add a payments app and further services on the road to a pan-African super-app. Founded by Thiel Fellow Aubrey Niederhoffer and Edwin Ruiz, Swoop raised a $7.3M seed round in 2026 with participation from Version One Ventures, Long Journey, Variant, Soma Capital and Dune. Swoop is a consumer-facing mobile and web platform; it does not currently publish a public developer API, OpenAPI specification, SDKs, or developer documentation. This profile was surfaced as a Version One Ventures portfolio company and enriched as an identity-only lead.

Swoop is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Food Delivery, E-Commerce, Payments, and Africa.
