Among the 50 most recent disclosed rounds for Dubai-based startups, the largest disclosed amount is Communication and Renewable Energy Infrastructure’s $90M on 2026-06-17. That figure dwarfs the rest of the disclosed amounts above the $50M range: the next-largest disclosed amounts are $100M for AMEA Power (2026-05-20) and $100M for Beaufond (2026-05-16), with all other disclosed rounds falling well below those figures (e.g., Optasia at $330M on 2026-04-10 and DarGlobal at $250M on 2026-04-16 define the high end, while many rounds are $5M–$10M). Dates are tightly clustered near the most recent entries: the latest row is AXON on 2026-06-25, and the span visible here runs back to 2026-01-16 (A47 AI). Sector concentration is also visible: “Artificial Intelligence (AI)” appears in at least 10 entries (e.g., INUI 2026-06-01, Algebra AI 2026-06-09, and Skygen.AI 2026-02-16), while “Series Unknown” and “undisclosed” amounts are frequent—26 rows show “Series Unknown,” and 12 rows list “undisclosed” amounts (e.g., FinBursa 2026-06-18 and Fasset 2026-05-14 is disclosed at $51M, contrasted with multiple undisclosed entries in the same period).

Frequently asked
How extreme is the largest disclosed round in this Dubai list compared with the next-largest disclosed amounts?
The biggest disclosed amount is $350M for Mantas on 2026-05-18, which sits above Optasia’s $330M (2026-04-10) and DarGlobal’s $250M (2026-04-16). Most other disclosed rounds in the table cluster far below that upper band, including many $2M–$10M rounds such as AXON’s $1M (2026-06-25) and Algebra AI’s $7M (2026-06-09).
Do rounds cluster into a narrow time window, or are they evenly spread from January through June?
They skew toward late spring: for example, a dense run appears in April 2026 with multiple entries on 2026-04-27 (Udora $10M and O Gold undisclosed) and 2026-04-25 (Salama $42M). The visible range runs from 2026-01-16 (A47 AI) to 2026-06-25 (AXON), with many entries concentrated from early April through late June.
Which sectors are most over-represented in these 50 rows, based on repeated appearances?
“Artificial Intelligence (AI)” is the most repeated sector, appearing in at least 10 entries such as INUI ($4M on 2026-06-01), Algebra AI ($7M on 2026-06-09), and Sahor One ($2M on 2026-04-01). Finance-related categories also recur (e.g., Rentify Seed $2M on 2026-06-22, Comfi Seed $65M on 2026-04-27, Stake Series B $31M on 2026-02-17), but with less consistency than AI.
What’s the stage disclosure pattern: do “Series Unknown” and “undisclosed” amounts change how you interpret deal size?
“Series Unknown” appears in 26 of the 50 rows, which limits stage-level comparisons even when amounts are provided (e.g., AMEA Power is “Series Unknown” with $100M on 2026-05-20). Separately, 12 rows list “undisclosed” amounts, including FinBursa on 2026-06-18 and Bab Al Wasal Group on 2026-05-21, so size dispersion is partially hidden during the same late-June window.
Are there deal-size outliers that stand out within Dubai’s otherwise smaller disclosed checks?
Yes. Beyond the $350M and $330M cluster (Mantas 2026-05-18 and Optasia 2026-04-10), several other high disclosed checks appear (e.g., DarGlobal $250M on 2026-04-16 and Beaufond $100M on 2026-05-16). Meanwhile, smaller outliers include very low disclosed amounts such as Wellxa Health at $500K (2026-04-03) and APTCI at $100K (2026-03-15), creating a wide spread.
