Documented cause
Turbomart launched rapid grocery delivery in Lagos promising 30-minute delivery from dark stores. The model required massive capital for inventory, warehouses, and riders — capital Turbomart never had. With only $3M raised and international quick-commerce giants absorbing investor attention, Turbomart could not raise follow-on funding and shut down before reaching break-even.
Lesson
“Rapid grocery delivery is a capital game, not a technology game — without 18-24 months of runway, launching is a bad bet.”
