Frequently asked
What’s the biggest disclosed funding amount in this list, and how different is it from the rest?
Areeb Capital’s $1.5B (Series Unknown, 2026-05-11) is an outlier: the next-largest disclosed amounts are in the single digits to low tens of millions ($8M for WheeKeep on 2024-05-12 and $7M for Aanaab on 2024-12-01 and Quantum Platform on 2024-10-02).
Are there city-level or geographic clusters within Makkah’s listings?
Jeddah dominates the dataset, with every row located in Jeddah or Makkah (Saudi Arabia) and only one explicitly labeled “Mecca, Makkah” entry: YNMO (2024-11-12).
When were these rounds, and is the recency skewed toward a specific year?
The shown rounds cover a five-year window from 2021-01-07 (Ejaro) to 2026-06-18 (Terraxy). The densest visible activity falls in 2024, where multiple disclosed rounds appear between 2024-01-04 and 2024-12-01.
How complete is the stage/amount disclosure, and does it affect comparisons?
Stage visibility is mixed: many rows are labeled “Series Unknown” or have “undisclosed” amounts, including AVA (2026-04-02, undisclosed) and MUHIDE (2026-02-02, undisclosed). That means the disclosed-size ranking is driven by a smaller subset (for example, Terraxy $3M on 2026-06-18 and WheeKeep $8M on 2024-05-12), while undisclosed deals can’t be compared by size.
Which sectors show up repeatedly enough to suggest a theme across rounds?
Commerce and Shopping appears more than once (AVA 2026-04-02, Resal 2025-07-08, Aanaab 2024-12-01, Jaleesa 2021-12-12, Ejaro 2021-01-07, and Mabaat 2021-08-17). Financial Services also repeats (Sidra Capital 2025-07-08, Areeb Capital 2026-05-11, and UmrahCash 2024-09-16).
