The ten most recently funded Beirut startups in this dataset span from February 2021 — Podeo's $800K seed round in media and entertainment — through June 2025, when FlavorKit (food and beverage) closed a $60K raise. Toters posted the largest disclosed round in the set, an $18M Series B in June 2022, while Anghami (apps) and Basma (health care) each raised in the $3–4M range in 2021 and 2023 respectively. 2022 was the busiest year by count, with three closings across gaming, logistics, and apparel.
Disclosure norms skew opaque: half the rounds list no amount, and four of ten carry only a "Series Unknown" stage designation. Sector spread is wide — nine distinct categories appear across ten companies, including gaming (Arcadous, Series A), financial services (Purpl), and education (Zaker, The Makers Hub), with no vertical dominating the recent activity visible here.
