Across these 31 Egypt pre-seed rounds, disclosed amounts cluster mostly between $50K and $2M, but one outlier stands out: Sylndr’s $13M pre-seed on 2022-05-23. The next-largest disclosed amounts are $3M (Mtor, 2023-12-04) and $2M (Suplyd 2022-12-15; Sharwa 2022-08-10; Gahez Market 2022-01-03), so Sylndr’s disclosed round is far above the rest of the disclosed set.
The list is also geographically and temporally concentrated. Cairo (including entries labeled Cairo and Al Qahirah) dominates, and 15 of the 31 rounds fall in 2022 alone, with a heavier run-up in mid-2023 (AI/IT/financial-services entries like Talents Arena at $750K on 2023-08-08, Pastes.io at $30K on 2023-09-01, and SehaTech at $850K on 2023-09-03). Undisclosed amounts appear frequently (15/31 rows), while the only clearly smallest disclosed amount is Wicks at $100K on 2021-03-12. Rounds span 2021-01-06 (Cassbana) through the most recent entry on 2025-10-07 (Renewables Vault, $50K).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed pre-seed round is the biggest, and how far above the next-largest disclosed amounts is it?
Sylndr’s $13M pre-seed (2022-05-23) dwarfs the rest of the disclosed amounts shown; the next-largest disclosed amounts are $3M (Mtor, 2023-12-04) and three separate $2M rounds (Suplyd 2022-12-15; Sharwa 2022-08-10; Gahez Market 2022-01-03).
Are the most recent rounds clustered in time, or spread evenly across the period shown?
They’re back-loaded: the oldest row is Cassbana on 2021-01-06, while the most recent is Renewables Vault on 2025-10-07 ($50K). A large share also concentrates in 2022 (15 of 31 rows), rather than being evenly distributed year-to-year.
Do any cities (as labeled here) appear significantly more than others?
Cairo/Al Qahirah labels dominate across the rows: Renewables Vault (Cairo, 2025-10-07), multiple Cairo entries in 2022 (e.g., Sharwa on 2022-08-10; Sylndr on 2022-05-23), and many other pre-seeds in 2023–2025. Outside that, the remaining locations are comparatively scattered (e.g., Alexandria for Farid on 2024-09-18 and Gîza for multiple entries such as Talents Arena on 2023-08-08).
Is there a noticeable sector concentration, or are sectors mostly one-offs at the pre-seed stage?
Sectors are mixed, but Financial Services and Commerce and Shopping show repeated appearances across years (e.g., SehaTech $850K on 2023-09-03; Seqoon $500K on 2022-10-24; Cassbana $1M on 2021-01-06 for Financial Services, and El-Dokan $550K on 2022-09-05; Gahez Market $2M on 2022-01-03; Sylndr $13M on 2022-05-23 for Commerce and Shopping).
Which entries look like amount outliers on the low end, and how does the disclosed floor behave?
Wicks’ $100K pre-seed (2021-03-12) is the smallest disclosed amount in the rows shown, with several other relatively small disclosed rounds like Pastes.io at $30K (2023-09-01). By contrast, large disclosed rounds include Sylndr at $13M (2022-05-23) and the $3M–$2M group (Mtor 2023-12-04 at $3M; Suplyd/Sharwa/Gahez Market at $2M), separating clearly from the disclosed floor.
