Among the 17 most recent Information Technology funding entries shown for the United Arab Emirates, the largest disclosed round is Hunch’s $23M (2024-03-06). That amount stands well above the rest of the disclosed figures in the table: the next-largest disclosed rounds are spiderSilk’s $9M (2023-11-01) and 4Partners’ $4M (2024-10-10) and RIZEK’s $4M (2020-06-14), while several other disclosed rounds cluster at $2M, $3M, or $500K–$750K levels.
The dataset also concentrates by time and geography. Dubai dominates the city field (e.g., ThrowMeNot 2026-02-09, Octa is Abu Dhabi on 2024-10-10, and Clevertrip is Abu Dhabi on 2021-10-01), and the most recent entries span from 2026-02-09 (ThrowMeNot) back to 2020-06-14 (RIZEK). Stage information is fragmented: five rows are labeled “Series Unknown” (4Partners, spiderSilk, NexGen Digitech, 2026-01-01 Zameera, and 2020-06-14 RIZEK), and two rounds are “undisclosed” (Zameera on 2026-01-01 and Mobility MEA on 2023-03-30; the remaining disclosed rounds include multiple pre-seed and seed deals).

Frequently asked
What are the largest disclosed rounds in this UAE IT set, and how extreme is the top deal versus the rest?
Hunch’s $23M on 2024-03-06 is the highest disclosed amount in the 17-row list. The next-largest disclosed rounds are spiderSilk’s $9M (2023-11-01) and two $4M rounds (4Partners on 2024-10-10 and RIZEK on 2020-06-14), placing Hunch materially above everything else.
Is there a temporal cluster in the middle of the list, or are rounds evenly spread across years?
The disclosed entries are not evenly spread: a dense cluster appears around 2023–2024, including spiderSilk ($9M on 2023-11-01), FileOrbis ($2M on 2023-06-01), NexGen Digitech ($750K on 2023-06-01), Mobility MEA (undisclosed on 2023-03-30), and Hunch ($23M on 2024-03-06). Outside that window, the remaining disclosed rounds include 2020 (RIZEK $4M on 2020-06-14) and 2021–2022 with smaller disclosed figures like $100K (Clevertrip 2021-10-01; Yegertek 2021-09-14).
How concentrated are companies by city within the UAE dataset shown?
Dubai appears repeatedly across the list, including ThrowMeNot (Dubai, 2026-02-09; $550K), 37xDubai (Dubai, 2022-12-13; $5M), and FlexxPay (Dubai, 2021-02-14; $3M). Abu Dhabi appears less often (Octa on 2024-10-10; Clevertrip on 2021-10-01), suggesting city concentration around Dubai for these entries.
Which stage labels dominate, and what fraction of rows lack a stated stage classification?
Stage naming is mixed across the 17 rows: there are five “Series Unknown” entries (4Partners 2024-10-10, spiderSilk 2023-11-01, NexGen Digitech 2023-06-01, Zameera 2026-01-01, and RIZEK 2020-06-14). In addition, two rounds are “undisclosed” on amount (Zameera 2026-01-01 and Mobility MEA 2023-03-30), limiting how fully disclosed the stage-versus-amount analysis can be.
Are there outliers on the low end where disclosed amounts drop sharply below the rest?
Yes: multiple disclosed rounds sit at $100K (Clevertrip on 2021-10-01 and Yegertek on 2021-09-14), which is far below the higher disclosed cluster around $2M–$5M (e.g., FileOrbis $2M on 2023-06-01, 37xDubai $5M on 2022-12-13, and Octa $2M on 2024-10-10). The lowest disclosed amounts are therefore an outlier band compared with the rest of the disclosed figures.
