Dubai accounts for nine of the ten administrative services companies in this set, with February 2025 marking a notable cluster of activity: Merit Incentives closed a $28M Series B and The Box Self Storage Services raised $13M within nine days of each other. Earlier in Q1 2025, Ogram added a $3M round — its second appearance in the data after a $3M Series A in May 2022 — and Opteam completed a Pre-Seed round on undisclosed terms in January.
The segment spans workforce staffing (Ogram), employee benefits and HR tech (Bayzat's $25M Series C in December 2022, MyBenefits Technologies), incentive management (Merit Incentives), self-storage operations (The Box), and talent development (Knack). Abu Dhabi's only representative is ThreeEightSix, which raised an undisclosed round in May 2024. Round sizes range from $100K at the earliest-stage end to $28M at the top, with three rounds in the set carrying undisclosed amounts.

Frequently asked
What are the largest disclosed rounds in this segment?
Merit Incentives leads with a $28M Series B closed in February 2025, followed by The Box Self Storage Services at $13M in the same month. Bayzat's $25M Series C from December 2022 is the largest single round outside the 2025 cohort among the ten companies shown.
Are most of these companies based in Dubai or spread across the UAE?
Nine of the ten companies shown are headquartered in Dubai. ThreeEightSix, which raised an undisclosed round in May 2024, is the only Abu Dhabi-based entry in this set.
Which company has raised multiple rounds visible in this data?
Ogram appears twice — a $3M Series A in May 2022 and a further $3M round classified as Series Unknown in January 2025, both in Dubai. The identical amount across two rounds three years apart is notable.
How many rounds have undisclosed amounts, and which ones?
Three rounds list no disclosed figure: Opteam (Pre-Seed, January 2025), ThreeEightSix (Series Unknown, May 2024), and Mile Solutions (Seed, January 2024). Opteam's round is the most recent of the three.
What round stages are active in the most recent 12 months of data?
From January 2025 through February 2025 alone, the data shows a Pre-Seed (Opteam), a Series Unknown (Ogram), another Series Unknown (The Box Self Storage Services), and a Series B (Merit Incentives) — four distinct stage classifications across a six-week window.
How does the 2021 activity compare to more recent rounds in size?
The two 2021 entries — MyBenefits Technologies at $800K and Knack at $100K — are significantly smaller than the $3M–$28M range seen in 2022–2025, suggesting the segment attracted much earlier, smaller checks at that stage in the UAE market.
