In the 16 most recent Kuwait rounds shown, the largest disclosed amount is Aayan’s $114M (2026-04-20). That $114M figure dwarfs every other disclosed round in the list, with the next-largest disclosed amount being Real Estate House’s $7M (2026-04-07) and multiple other disclosed rounds clustered at $6M, $12M, and $10M levels.
Date-wise, the most recent activity is tightly clustered in April 2026: two disclosed rounds (Aayan on 2026-04-20 for $114M, and Real Estate House on 2026-04-07 for $7M) appear within a two-week window. Sector concentration also shows up: Commerce and Shopping appears in multiple entries (Sakan $12M on 2024-10-15, Mushtari “$200K” on 2024-02-07, Raha $7M on 2023-11-22, Teeela $4M on 2022-08-01), while Financial Services is another repeating category (Aayan $114M on 2026-04-20, Enabill $1M on 2022-05-24, and Ruba undisclosed on 2022-10-23). The list spans 2020-06-08 through 2026-04-20, and disclosure is uneven: 4 entries show “undisclosed” amounts, and 1 entry uses a blank series field.

Frequently asked
What stands out as the largest disclosed round, and how much larger is it than the rest of the Kuwait list?
Aayan’s $114M (2026-04-20) is the only disclosed round above the $10M range and is far above the next-largest disclosed figure, Real Estate House’s $7M (2026-04-07).
Is there a tight recency cluster in the newest rounds shown?
Yes. Two disclosed rounds land in April 2026—Real Estate House on 2026-04-07 for $7M and Aayan on 2026-04-20 for $114M—within about two weeks.
Which sectors appear most repeatedly in these 16 entries?
Commerce and Shopping shows up multiple times across different rounds, including Sakan ($12M on 2024-10-15), Mushtari ($200K on 2024-02-07), Raha ($7M on 2023-11-22), and Teeela ($4M on 2022-08-01). Financial Services also repeats with Aayan ($114M on 2026-04-20), Enabill ($1M on 2022-05-24), and Ruba (undisclosed on 2022-10-23).
How often are amounts or series missing, and does that affect which comparisons are reliable?
4 of the 16 entries show “undisclosed” amounts (Waves 2024-06-10, Bookr 2024-02-06, Ruba 2022-10-23, and Enabill’s series is listed but not the amount; all cited as shown). In addition, 1 entry has a blank series field (HOT Technologies on 2020-07-23, and Ajar on 2020-06-08 also has blank series), so stage-mix comparisons rely on entries with explicit series labels.
What stage labels dominate, and are the largest rounds tied to a specific stage?
Seed is common (Mushtari $200K on 2024-02-07; Raha $7M on 2023-11-22; Teeela $4M on 2022-08-01; Enabill $1M on 2022-05-24; Waves is undisclosed on 2024-06-10). The largest disclosed round, Aayan’s $114M (2026-04-20), is listed as “Series Unknown,” while other large disclosed rounds include Sakan ($12M, Series A on 2024-10-15) and COFE App ($10M, Venture - Series Unknown on 2021-04-20).
