Plentywaka Rebrands As Treepz to Further Pan-Africa Expansion

Plentywaka, the Toronto-headquartered shared mobility startup which provides hassle-freea lolnd, today announced that it has changed its name to Treepz.

According to the firm, the name change which is effective as of now presents an opportunity to align the company name with its Pan-African expansion plan as it also better represents the vision of the company which is to build the largest shared mobility platform across Africa.

Disclosing this in a statement, the firm stated that after recently securing $1.2 million in seed funding and acquiring Stabus, one of Ghana’s leading mobility startups, the company is now solely focused on expanding across Africa and

harnessing the exciting opportunities in the continent.

”As part of the name change, Treepz has released a new company logo. Its core service

offerings will remain the same but with new names; Daily Treepz, Travel Treepz, and

Corporate Treepz. Its existing mission statement and “black & yellow” brand colours will also

be retained for marketing and branding purposes, “the statement said.

Speaking on the rebranding, CEO of Treepz Inc., Onyeka Akumah said, “This name change

is a result of in-depth discussions with our stakeholders, partners and staff. After we

discovered that the term “WAKA” can mean different things across Africa, which may be

completely different from travel or movement, we decided to change the name from ‘Plentywood’ to ‘Treepz’ which is pronounced as ‘Trips’.

“The new name boldly states our mission to provide safe, convenient and comfortable trips across Africa with plans for our

expansion to 6 countries in 2 years on the continent, “ he stated

In addition, the CEO of Treepz said the “company had been looking for a globally acceptable

name for the last 6 months to use in creating the right kind of positive emotions around bus

trips on the African continent. The name Treepz embodies everything that happens on the

road, travelling across cities, within cities and it gives a cool vibe to the experience.”

Onyeka also said “that already existing users won’t have to take any action as the new app

will automatically force an update to the new Treepz experience in Africa.”

Treepz is West Africa’s largest shared mobility platform that offers commuters convenience,

safety, and comfort through daily rides and road travel ticketing services. With branches in

Nigeria and Ghana, Treepz is changing the way hundreds of thousands of commuters get

around with close to half a million rides completed on our app, providing fast and convenient trips in real-time
