Two ways to own a piece of the network
Run OctiVault in a territory of your own, or take a stake in the platform behind it. Either way, you start with what already runs, not a forecast.
Run it, or own part of it
Both paths sit on the same platform. The difference is what you bring, and what you get back.
Franchise a territory
You bring capital, venues and local operations to a city or region. We run the platform, app, payments and support under the OctiVault brand, and every station you place rents from the same app people already have.
You don't start from zero. The app, the payment rails and the operating playbook already exist, and the network you're joining is live today — the territory is the only new part.
Regional operators, existing rental businesses, entrepreneurs and investors.
- Charging hardware and local maintenance
- Venue relationships and placement
- Local operations and replenishment
- Regional market knowledge
Own part of the platform
The stations are the visible part. The company behind them owns the app, the payments integration, the sponsorship product and five years of operating knowledge — and runs the current network itself. That's the asset a stake here is in.
No announced round, and no open process. We talk to a small number of people who bring a door as well as a cheque, and the conversation starts with live numbers under NDA.
Angel and seed investors, family offices, corporate venture arms, and strategic partners in telecoms, retail, hospitality or media.
- Capital to put more stations into more venues
- Doors: venue groups, brands and distribution we don't reach today
- Patience for a business whose unit is a physical station in a real place
You are not funding a prototype
Everything below is in production today, running the current network. These are the real product, not mock-ups.
A consumer app on both stores
iOS and Android, English and Arabic. Station discovery, QR rental, return at any station, live notifications.
Local payments that actually work
A saved card charged at return through an Egyptian gateway, a per-day cap, and non-return fees recovered automatically.
A complete sponsorship product
Sponsor-branded station screens, in-app placement, free minutes in the brand's name, venue-scoped promo codes, and a report per campaign.
An operations dashboard with an AI advisor
Fleet, batteries, rentals, finance and disputes in one place, with an AI layer that ranks faults and proposes the action.
Our own station connectivity layer
A proprietary protocol layer that keeps cabinets online and delivers eject commands — the part of the stack that doesn't come with the hardware.
Designed for more than one hardware vendor
A single driver interface for cabinets, so hardware choice isn't locked to one supplier as the network grows.
Three revenue lines live, a fourth on the roadmap
- Live
Sponsorship
A brand funds stations so charging is free to a venue's visitors, in the brand's name.
- Live
Venue placement
Sponsored, revenue-share, or a premium tier with the venue's own brand on the station.
- Live
Rental fees
Charged to the saved card at return, capped per day, with a non-return fee behind it.
- Roadmap
Platform licensing
Running the platform for networks we don't operate ourselves — on the roadmap, not today.
All three consumer-facing models have been run on real stations — sponsor-funded, pay as you go, and pay as you go with a revenue share to the venue. Pricing is a per-venue decision backed by operating experience, not an untested assumption.
No figures here, on purpose. We don't publish station, rental or revenue counts on a marketing site. We show them to you under NDA, from the live database rather than a slide — the only kind of number worth making a decision on.
Why this category, and why here
Proven elsewhere, still early here
Shared power-bank rental is a mature, at-scale category in East Asia, with publicly listed operators. In Egypt it is still early, and the network built now is the one that gets entrenched.
A market that spends its day away from a socket
The most populous country in the Arab world, young, phone-first. Malls, campuses, the North Coast summer, events — long days, and a phone that doesn't last them.
The user pays nothing; the brand pays
In a price-sensitive market, free charging is what wins the user, and attention is what the brand is buying. This isn't a proposed model — it's how the network runs today.
What the first conversation covers
Not a forty-slide deck. A short agenda, real data, and a station you can stand in front of.
If you're thinking franchise
- 01The territory you have in mind, and the venues you already have relationships with
- 02The capital available for hardware, installation and the initial battery stock
- 03Your capacity for local operations: replenishment, maintenance, venue relationships
- 04What we run (platform, app, payments, support) and what you run — terms are set per territory
If you're thinking ownership
- 01A data room under NDA: rental history, sponsor campaigns, fleet and venue status, per-station economics — from the live database
- 02A call with the founder who runs the network day to day
- 03A visit to a live station, and a walkthrough of the actual operations dashboard
- 04The roadmap: where the next stations go, and what gets built into the platform next
Start either conversation
Tell us who you are and which door you're interested in. The founder replies directly.
Talk about operating a network
The territory, the venues you have relationships with, and what you're thinking of putting in.

Who you represent, and what you'd want to see first. We send the NDA and open the data room.
