Among the 30 most recent “Apps” funding entries in the United Arab Emirates, the largest disclosed amount is Altibbi’s $44M Series B on 2022-03-28. That figure is far above the next-largest disclosed rounds in this slice, including Hubpay’s $20M (2022-02-08) and Ziina’s $22M (2024-09-04), and it sits well outside the $10M cluster that appears multiple times (e.g., eat $10M on 2026-01-21; Udora $10M on 2026-04-29; WakeCap Technologies $28M on 2025-05-13 is the only mid-to-high outlier nearer the top). Geographically, Dubai dominates: nearly all entries list Dubai, with only Studio Nebula (Sharjah, 2024-03-26) and Five Colors (Abu Dhabi, 2021-07-07) breaking that pattern. Temporally, disclosed rounds span from 2020-02-12 (Eat) through 2026-06-18 (Tern), and there is a noticeable concentration in 2022–2024, where many of the $1M–$6M disclosed rounds cluster (e.g., Mealplanet $6M on 2024-08-14; Lokalee $6M on 2024-01-08; Belong $2M on 2023-10-23).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed funding round in these UAE “Apps” listings, and how isolated is it?
Altibbi’s $44M (Series B, 2022-03-28) is the only disclosed round in this view above $28M and is substantially larger than the next tier, such as Ziina’s $22M (2024-09-04) and Hubpay’s $20M (2022-02-08). The rest of the disclosed amounts repeatedly center around $10M (e.g., eat $10M on 2026-01-21; Udora $10M on 2026-04-29; LVL $10M on 2023-08-03).
Are Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi represented evenly, or is there a clear city concentration?
Dubai is the clear majority: Tern (Dubai) on 2026-06-18 and Ziina (Dubai) on 2024-09-04 sit alongside most other entries. Sharjah appears once (Studio Nebula on 2024-03-26), and Abu Dhabi appears once (Five Colors on 2021-07-07), making those locations under-represented versus Dubai in this slice.
Which entries fall closest to the latest rounds, and what does the most recent 90-day window include?
The most recent date shown is Tern on 2026-06-18 (amount undisclosed). In the period immediately around it, Udora’s $10M (2026-04-29) and eat’s $10M (2026-01-21) appear, with O Gold (2026-04-27) and Tern (2026-06-18) also carrying undisclosed amounts—suggesting that the freshest entries include a mix of disclosed and undisclosed rounds.
What stage mix dominates the disclosed funding here, and where do the biggest rounds sit?
Disclosed amounts show multiple $10M rounds across different stages (e.g., Series B eat $10M on 2026-01-21; Series Unknown Udora $10M on 2026-04-29; Series A LVL $10M on 2023-08-03). The largest disclosed outlier, Altibbi’s $44M, is a Series B (2022-03-28), while WakeCap Technologies’ $28M is Series A (2025-05-13).
Are there notable outliers besides the biggest round, such as the smallest disclosed amount or unusually small equity-like checks?
The smallest disclosed amount is Studio Nebula’s $10K (row shows amount $10K, 2024-03-26), which is dramatically below the rest of the disclosed amounts. At the other end of the disclosed spectrum, $20M+ rounds are rare in this slice (WakeCap $28M in 2025-05-13 and Hubpay $20M in 2022-02-08), while many entries cluster between $1M and $6M (e.g., ASKWHO $490K is below that range, but Mealplanet $6M and Lokalee $6M sit in it).
