Disclosed deal sizes in Dubai administrative services skew toward mid-to-high single digits, with one clear outlier: Merit Incentives raised $28M on 2025-02-11, while the next-largest disclosed amount is $25M (Bayzat, Series C, 2022-12-23). Outside those two, disclosed rounds cluster around $13M or below (e.g., The Box Self Storage Services LLC at $13M on 2025-02-20; Hakeem at $2M on 2026-05-10). The list also shows a stage/visibility split: Series Unknown appears on 4 of 11 rows (ZIWO 2026-02-16; The Box Self Storage Services LLC 2025-02-20; Ogram 2025-01-22; Mile Solutions 2024-01-01), while “undisclosed” appears on 2 of 11 rows (ZIWO 2026-02-16 and Opteam, Pre-Seed, 2025-01-15). Chronologically, the 11 rows span 2021-05-05 (Knack: MENA's Talent Development Platform) through 2026-05-10 (Hakeem), with a tight concentration in late 2024 to early 2025: four entries between 2024-01-01 and 2025-02-20, all based in Dubai.

Frequently asked
What stands out on round size, and is the top disclosed deal unusually larger than the rest?
The largest disclosed amount is Merit Incentives’ $28M on 2025-02-11. The next-largest disclosed amount is $25M (Bayzat, 2022-12-23), while the remainder of disclosed rounds shown sit at $13M or below (e.g., The Box Self Storage Services LLC $13M on 2025-02-20; Hakeem $2M on 2026-05-10).
Are there clusters in timing among Dubai administrative services rounds in the most recent period?
Yes. Four of the 11 rows land between 2024-01-01 (Mile Solutions, undisclosed) and 2025-02-20 (The Box Self Storage Services LLC, $13M), including three consecutive late-December/January/February 2025 entries (Ogram $3M on 2025-01-22; Opteam undisclosed on 2025-01-15; Merit Incentives $28M on 2025-02-11).
How much of the dataset is not comparable by stage because of missing or hidden round labels?
Five of the 11 rows do not provide a comparable disclosed stage/amount combination: 4 show “Series Unknown” (ZIWO 2026-02-16; The Box Self Storage Services LLC 2025-02-20; Ogram 2025-01-22; Mile Solutions 2024-01-01) and 2 are marked “undisclosed” (ZIWO 2026-02-16; Opteam 2025-01-15).
Which stages are actually observable with disclosed amounts, and what does that imply about concentration?
Among rows with disclosed amounts, observable stages include Seed (Hakeem $2M on 2026-05-10; no disclosed amounts shown for Mile Solutions in Seed), Series C (Bayzat $25M on 2022-12-23), Series B (Merit Incentives $28M on 2025-02-11), and Series A (Ogram $3M on 2022-05-23). The largest disclosed deals concentrate in the higher-labeled rounds: $28M (Series B) and $25M (Series C).
Are there any entries that look like outliers in disclosed size relative to the minimum disclosed amount?
The smallest disclosed amount shown is Knack: MENA's Talent Development Platform at $100K on 2021-05-05. That $100K minimum sits far below the rest of the disclosed range, with multiple disclosed rounds starting at $2M or higher (Hakeem $2M on 2026-05-10; Ogram $3M on 2025-01-22 and 2022-05-23; MyBenefits Technologies $800K on 2021-05-10).
Which entries closed most recently, and do they change the size profile in this segment?
The most recent row is Hakeem on 2026-05-10 with a disclosed $2M. The next-most-recent entry is ZIWO on 2026-02-16, but the amount is marked undisclosed, so the latest disclosed figure ($2M) is on the lower end versus the two standout larger rounds ($28M on 2025-02-11; $25M on 2022-12-23).
