Disclosed round sizes in this Cairo-focused list cluster heavily in the low-to-mid single digits, while one outlier stands out: Cheiron’s $75M (Energy) closed on 2025-02-08, far above the next-largest disclosed entries like NERIC’s $99M (2024-12-16) and other large rounds such as Drive Finance’s $42M (2026-04-22) and Lucky’s $23M (2026-04-07). Stage labeling also skews fragmented: 26 of 50 rows are “Series Unknown” and another 8 are “undisclosed” on amount, so disclosed sizing is missing for a sizable share (34 of 50) of recent updates.
Temporally, funding updates concentrate in a mid-2025 window: from 2025-05-17 (Thndr) through 2025-12-15 (Nawah Scientific), multiple rounds appear repeatedly across FinTech/financial services and commerce apps, with several seed/checkpoint rounds at fixed $1M ($1M appears for HealthFlow on 2026-06-03, Layn on 2026-05-01, and Byit on 2025-12-08). Geography is overwhelmingly Cairo, with one notable cross-city data point: Drive Finance lists “Cairo, New York, United States” while the remaining entries reference Cairo, Al Qahirah, Egypt.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Cairo list, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
The largest disclosed amount is NERIC’s $99M (Transportation) on 2024-12-16. That level dwarfs the next-largest disclosed rounds shown, including Cheiron’s $75M (2025-02-08), Drive Finance’s $42M (2026-04-22), and Lucky’s $23M (2026-04-07).
How complete is the dataset on disclosed amounts and stage labels for Cairo-based rounds?
Stage is labeled “Series Unknown” for 26 of 50 rows, and amount is “undisclosed” for 8 of 50 rows. Together, 34 of 50 entries provide no disclosed amount, limiting comparisons to the remaining disclosed subset (e.g., $100K at Rology on 2025-11-04 vs. $99M at NERIC on 2024-12-16).
Which time window shows the most sustained activity across these rounds?
Updates cluster across the middle of the list’s timeline: after 2024-10-13 (Kredit), multiple funded entries repeat through 2025-10-04 (Aydi) and 2025-12-15 (Nawah Scientific). Several notable entries land in April–May 2025 as well, such as Money Fellows ($13M) on 2025-05-04 and Thndr ($16M) on 2025-05-17.
Are there sectors that repeat often enough to form a practical cluster?
Financial Services appears frequently (e.g., Premium Card $5M on 2026-06-24, NowPay $20M on 2026-01-28, Octane $5M on 2025-06-17, and Amenli $2M on 2024-11-18). Commerce and Shopping also recurs (e.g., Flextock $13M on 2026-02-17, Rabbit marts is undisclosed on 2025-04-15, and Sylndr $7M on 2024-11-25).
Which entries look like outliers either by size or missing disclosed amount?
Cheiron’s $75M (2025-02-08) and NERIC’s $99M (2024-12-16) are size outliers relative to the common lower disclosed bands such as $150K (Bekia on 2024-09-18) and $140K (Teradix on 2024-11-05). In contrast, multiple rounds provide no amount (e.g., ariika on 2026-06-28, Al Ismaelia on 2026-04-26, and Sabika on 2025-10-03), creating outlier conditions for analysis.
