Non-dilutive funding and payments in the Middle East
We built a platform that gives startups in the Middle East access to non-dilutive growth capital. Users connect their sales, marketing, and banking data, and within 48 hours they get a funding offer plus insights into their business performance. This solves the problem of limited funding options for startups in this region without giving up equity.
We live and work in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and the company is based here. After YC, we would continue to operate out of Riyadh.
We are building for the Middle East market, specifically startups here who lack non-dilutive funding options. Being in Riyadh puts us close to customers and the financial ecosystem we want to serve.
