Business Opportunity:
The Philippines is the second largest population size in Southeast Asia, behind only to Indonesia. In 2019, Waze named Manila the world’s worst city for traffic. On average, it takes a car almost five minutes to travel one kilometer in the city. This is where Angkas comes in. Unlike cars, motorcycles can cut through traffic, making them an ideal alternative transport for traffic-congested cities. The strong product-market fit for motorcycle taxis has led to the phenomenal growth and popularity of Angkas.
But more than just providing an alternative transport, Angkas is driven by an ambitious goal. We want to help end poverty in the Philippines by providing a sustainable livelihood to 18 million motorcycle bikers. That said, we are a purpose-driven company looking for like-minded individuals who believe in using their expertise to create a positive impact in the lives of millions of customers and biker partners.
