Charikaty Secures MAD 1.5 Million Investment on 2M’s ‘Qui Veut Investir Dans Mon Projet?’
Rabat-based legal tech startup Charikaty raised MAD 1.5 million (about $0.15M) from two investors after pitching on 2M’s national startup show to scale its digital company-formation and compliance platform. The capital will be used to enhance the platform, expand across Morocco and grow services for entrepreneurs and SMEs.
Rabat — Moroccan legal tech startup Charikaty has secured a MAD 1.5 million investment during Season 3 of “Qui Veut Investir Dans Mon Projet?,” the national startup investment show broadcast on 2M. The backing came from two prominent business leaders — Ilan Benhaim, co‑founder of European e‑commerce company Veepee and Chairman of Endeavor Morocco, and Karim Amor, President of MeM by CGEM and founder of Epineon.ai — who decided to invest after Charikaty’s pitch highlighting the platform’s growth, market potential and long‑term vision.
“Every year, tens of thousands of Moroccans take the leap to start a business. Our job at Charikaty is to make sure the legal process never stands in the way of that ambition,” Charikaty CEO Amr Mouaqit said in a statement following the deal. He added that the investment “validates that Morocco is ready for a new standard in how businesses are created and managed.”
Details of the deal and the product
Charikaty, founded by Amr Mouaqit (CEO) and Driss Sijelmassi (COO), positions itself as a digital solution to simplify company creation and legal compliance in Morocco. The startup offers end‑to‑end digital services that handle legal structuring, documentation and government registration — processes that the company says can otherwise take weeks.
The startup’s service suite already covers company formation as well as company modifications, dissolution, trademark registration and ongoing legal compliance. Charikaty argues that these offerings respond to a substantial national need: Morocco registers more than 90,000 new companies each year, while the government advances a digital reform agenda under its Maroc Digital 2030 strategy.
Charikaty joined the first batch of the Plug and Play & Technopark Morocco Accelerator earlier this year. The three‑month program included workshops, mentorship and “more than 230 investor meetings,” according to the startup. CEO Amr Mouaqit also presented the company’s vision to Amal El Fallah Seghrouchni, Morocco’s Minister of Digital Transition and Administration Reform.
How the funding will be used
- Improve and scale Charikaty’s technology platform to streamline legal and administrative workflows.
- Expand operations across Morocco to reach entrepreneurs and small‑ and medium‑sized enterprises (SMEs) nationwide.
- Grow services tailored to entrepreneurs, SMEs and Moroccans living abroad who seek company formation or legal compliance support.
The investment by Ilan Benhaim and Karim Amor follows Charikaty’s televised pitch and signals investor interest in legal tech solutions that reduce friction for business creation. The founders say the capital will accelerate product development and geographic expansion while supporting the company’s positioning as digital infrastructure for entrepreneurs across the country.
Looking ahead, Charikaty aims to convert administrative complexity into a faster, more transparent online experience for founders — a proposition the startup argues is timely given the volume of new company registrations and Morocco’s broader push toward digital transformation under Maroc Digital 2030.
