Cairo's startup funding record across the 50 most recent rounds spans August 2023 through October 2025, with financial services appearing more frequently than any other sector. Money Fellows reached Series C ($13M, May 2025), Khazna closed a Series B ($16M, February 2025), and Thndr added $16M in May 2025 — a cluster of maturing fintech infrastructure sitting alongside earlier-stage names like enza ($7M seed, March 2025) and Amenli ($2M seed, November 2024).
The dataset's two largest disclosed rounds sit outside fintech: NERIC pulled in $99M for transportation in December 2024, and energy company Cheiron raised $75M in February 2025. The most recent closes are Aydi ($8M seed across agriculture and B2B software, October 2025) and Sabika (seed, undisclosed, October 2025). Pre-seed activity has remained consistent throughout the period, though a substantial share of rounds carry undisclosed amounts, which constrains any precise aggregate capital estimate from this cohort alone.
