Among the 14 “Other” funded startups shown, the largest disclosed round is KOI at $15M on 2022-06-12; every other disclosed amount clusters below $12M, with only one $12M round (The Cloud, 2024-02-19) and two additional mid-size rounds at $10M (Service My Car, 2021-03-10) and $9M (Sheesha Finance, 2021-04-13). The weakest-disclosed entries are Zand ($100K on 2022-02-15) and arcab ($100K on 2021-12-03), putting a very wide disclosed range on the table.
Temporal and geography patterns are more concentrated than the amounts: 6 of 14 rounds have dates in 2024, with several Dubai-based deals (e.g., Blum $5M on 2025-02-13; FIRSTLINE $3M on 2026-04-13; Exverse $3M on 2024-02-14) and Abu Dhabi appearing multiple times (The Cloud $12M on 2024-02-19; Sheesha Finance $9M on 2021-04-13). Stage classification is also uneven: 9 of 14 rows are labeled “Series Unknown” or “undisclosed” (including BlueFive Capital, Evolution Group, and Travilege as “undisclosed”), while explicitly named stages include Seed, Pre-Seed, Angel, Seed, and Series B across different years from 2021 to 2026.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this UAE “Other” list, and is it an outlier versus the rest?
KOI’s $15M (2022-06-12) is the largest disclosed amount. The next tier tops out at $12M (The Cloud, 2024-02-19), and the remaining disclosed rounds sit at or below $10M (Service My Car $10M on 2021-03-10; Sheesha Finance $9M on 2021-04-13), making KOI stand out.
Do the disclosed rounds cluster in a specific time window among the 14 rows shown?
Yes. 6 of 14 rounds are dated in 2024 (Evolution Group 2024-09-03 undisclosed; The Cloud $12M 2024-02-19; Exverse $3M 2024-02-14; Travilege 2024-08-23 undisclosed; among others). The span runs from the oldest disclosed/dated entry in 2021-03-10 (Service My Car, $10M) to the most recent in 2026-04-13 (FIRSTLINE, $3M).
Which city shows up most, and how does that align with the largest disclosed amounts?
Dubai is the most frequent city in the rows (e.g., FIRSTLINE 2026-04-13, Blum 2025-02-13, KOI 2022-06-12), while Abu Dhabi appears repeatedly as well (The Cloud $12M on 2024-02-19; Sheesha Finance $9M on 2021-04-13). The two largest disclosed amounts both associate with different cities: KOI is in Dubai ($15M, 2022-06-12) and The Cloud is in Abu Dhabi ($12M, 2024-02-19).
How much of the list is hard to compare because stages or amounts are not disclosed?
9 of 14 rows are either “Series Unknown” and/or “undisclosed” on the amount side, including BlueFive Capital (undisclosed, 2025-07-08), Evolution Group (undisclosed, 2024-09-03), and Travilege (undisclosed, 2024-08-23). Only a minority have both a named stage and a disclosed amount (for example, Blum Seed $5M on 2025-02-13; Sheesha Finance Seed $9M on 2021-04-13).
Are there meaningful stage patterns given the named stages that do appear?
Named stages include Seed, Pre-Seed, Angel, Convertible Note, and Series B, but they’re dispersed across years rather than concentrated: Pre-Seed appears for FIRSTLINE? (not; FIRSTLINE is Series Unknown) and for A47 AI (Pre-Seed $2M, 2026-01-16) plus Hotdesk (Pre-Seed $800K, 2021-09-05). Seed shows up with different disclosed sizes, including arcab $100K on 2021-12-03 and Blum Seed $5M on 2025-02-13.
Which entries are the smallest disclosed rounds, and do they sit in the same part of the timeline?
The smallest disclosed amount is $100K, appearing twice: Zand ($100K on 2022-02-15) and arcab ($100K on 2021-12-03). These lows occur in the 2021–2022 portion of the list, while later years include much larger disclosed rounds such as The Cloud $12M (2024-02-19) and FIRSTLINE $3M (2026-04-13).
