Across these 12 administrative services startups in the UAE, the only clearly large disclosed round is Merit Incentives’ $28M (Series B, 2025-02-11). The next-largest disclosed amounts cluster much lower—Bayzat’s $25M (Series C, 2022-12-23) and The Box Self Storage Services LLC’s $13M (2025-02-20)—so $28M stands out as the top disclosed figure among otherwise mostly single-digit to low–mid double-digit amounts.
The list also shows a stage-and-visibility pattern: 5 of 12 rounds are “undisclosed” and 4 of 12 are “Series Unknown,” leaving only 3 with a named stage (MyBenefits Technolgoies with an amount but blank stage; Merit Incentives Series B; Bayzat Series C). Geography concentrates in Dubai (9 of 12 rows) versus Abu Dhabi (3 of 12), and temporally the entries span from 2021-05-05 (Knack: MENA’s Talent Development Platform) to the most recent 2026-05-10 (Hakeem).

Frequently asked
What stands out as the largest disclosed round here, and how much larger is it than the rest?
Merit Incentives’ $28M (Series B, 2025-02-11) is the only disclosed figure at that level. The next-largest disclosed amounts are Bayzat at $25M (Series C, 2022-12-23) and The Box Self Storage Services LLC at $13M (2025-02-20), putting Merit’s round in a higher range than the rest of the disclosed datapoints.
Is there a city concentration within Dubai vs Abu Dhabi for administrative services funding?
Dubai dominates the geography, appearing in 9 of 12 rows (e.g., Hakeem 2026-05-10 in Dubai; Merit Incentives 2025-02-11 in Dubai; Bayzat 2022-12-23 in Dubai). Abu Dhabi accounts for 3 of 12 rows, including ThreeEightSix (undisclosed, 2024-05-29) and the Dubai-focused pattern otherwise leaves a smaller Abu Dhabi footprint.
How are rounds distributed in the most recent window shown on the page?
The most recent three dated entries are Hakeem ($2M, 2026-05-10), ZIWO (undisclosed, 2026-02-16), and The Box Self Storage Services LLC ($13M, 2025-02-20). Outside that cluster, the page includes a dense mid-2025 block (2025-02-11 Merit Incentives $28M; 2025-02-20 The Box $13M; 2025-01-22 Ogram $3M; 2025-01-15 Opteam undisclosed).
What stage disclosure mix should analysts expect when scanning this list?
Named stages are a minority: only 3 of 12 rows show a specific stage label (Merit Incentives Series B at $28M on 2025-02-11; Bayzat Series C at $25M on 2022-12-23; Ogram Series A at $3M on 2022-05-23). Separately, 4 of 12 rows read “Series Unknown” (e.g., The Box Self Storage Services LLC on 2025-02-20 with $13M; ZIWO on 2026-02-16), while 5 of 12 are “undisclosed” on the amount field (e.g., ZIWO 2026-02-16; Opteam 2025-01-15; ThreeEightSix 2024-05-29).
Are there outliers worth prioritizing for diligence beyond the top-line amounts?
Yes: Hakeem is the most recent disclosed round at just $2M (2026-05-10), while Knack: MENA’s Talent Development Platform is the smallest disclosed amount at $100K (2021-05-05). That combination—very recent but modest disclosed size (Hakeem $2M) alongside a much older, very small disclosed entry (Knack $100K)—creates a wide disclosed range that can indicate very different financing needs or disclosure practices within the same administrative services category.
