Frequently asked
What stands out on deal size, and how does the largest disclosed round compare with the rest of the Bahrain seed set shown?
Calo’s $13M seed on 2022-12-06 is the only disclosed round above $5M; the next-largest disclosed amount is Aion Digital’s $5M (2023-02-09), followed by two $3M rounds (Siin on 2026-05-05 and Lola Do on 2026-04-26). Several other disclosed amounts sit at $1M or below (Fintologya $1M on 2025-09-17; Sellou $300K on 2025-03-30; Parcel $1M on 2023-02-23).
Do recent months show a concentration in timing or funding size?
Yes. Siin ($3M, 2026-05-05) and Lola Do ($3M, 2026-04-26) both close in April–May 2026, while the preceding disclosed datapoint is Fintologya at $1M on 2025-09-17. Looking slightly earlier, Manama-based entries cluster repeatedly through 2022–2024 (e.g., Aion Digital $5M on 2023-02-09 and Calo $13M on 2022-12-06).
Which places recur across these seed rounds, and is the geography concentrated?
Manama (Al Manamah) appears across multiple rows, including Siin (2026-05-05, $3M), Sellou (2025-03-30, $300K), Aion Digital (2023-02-09, $5M), and Calo (2022-12-06, $13M). Sitrah also recurs, with Lola Do (2026-04-26, $3M) and Fintologya (2025-09-17, $1M) both listed in Sitrah, indicating a split between Sitrah and Manama rather than a single-city monopoly.
How much of the list is concentrated in undisclosed seed amounts versus disclosed figures?
Out of 11 rows, 4 are marked undisclosed: Unipal (Advertising, 2024-12-15), Tajweed (Education, 2024-08-23), Daleel (Apps, 2024-04-03), and Faceki (AI, 2022-08-15). Among the remaining 7 disclosed entries, amounts range from $300K (Sellou, 2025-03-30) up to $13M (Calo, 2022-12-06).
Are there sector repeats or sector clusters worth probing first?
Commerce and Shopping repeats: Siin (2026-05-05, $3M) and Sellou (2025-03-30, $300K) are both in Commerce and Shopping. Finance-adjacent activity also appears multiple times: Fintologya (Finance, $1M on 2025-09-17) and Aion Digital (Financial Services, $5M on 2023-02-09), suggesting a finance-focused thread alongside broader categories like Food and Beverage (Calo) and AI (Faceki, undisclosed on 2022-08-15).
