Cairo-based on-demand mobile phone repair startup iFix has raised an undisclosed investment from A15, an Egyptian firm that invests in digital products and technology brands.
Egyptian news publication Hapi Journal reported in an article yesterday that iFix will use the investment (which tech publication MenaBytes said in an article was a six-figure dollar sum) to launch an e-commerce platform for used mobile phones.

Hapi Journal said iFix has completed over 50 000 mobile phone repairs since it was launched.
It’s not clear when the deal was concluded, Ventureburn sought comment on this and other details of iFix’s operations from the startup but had not received a response at the time of publication.
Middle East and North Africa-focused tech publication Menabytes said in an article yesterday that iFix’s ecommerce platform, Gadded, will offer phones that are up to 50% cheaper than retail prices and will come with a one-year warranty provided by iFix.
