Trella planning to scale up “step-by-step”

It’s another painfully slow news day in the international press as far as Egypt is concerned. African startup news site Disrupt Africa is running an interview with Egyptian trucking startup Trella, which raised USD 600K in pre-seed funding with the help of our friends at Algebra Ventures. They’re not planning any major regional expansion any time soon, instead taking their growth one step at a time.

Other stories worth skimming this morning:

  • The NYT picked up on Nubian photographer Mohamed Altoum’s journey to rediscover his Nubian heritage.
  • A joint school feeding project between Canada and the World Food Programme has provided access to education, enhanced nutrition and greater social cohesion for over 1 mn Egyptian and Syrian children in over 570 public schools in the last four years, according to the UN Information Center in Cairo.
  • 130,000 tickets have reportedly already beensold to the Tutankhamun treasure exhibition taking place at the Grande Halle at La Villette in Paris, in advance of its public opening on Saturday.
