Across these 50 “Series Unknown” rounds in the United Arab Emirates, the largest disclosed amount is ADQ at $2.0B on 2025-05-07, which dwarfs the rest of the disclosed figures (the next-largest disclosed entries include Sharjah Islamic Bank’s $500M on 2025-02-19 and Pathfinder’s $325M on 2024-07-24). At the other extreme, the smallest disclosed amount is Bluelinks Agency with $10K on 2024-11-01, showing a wide funding spread even within the same classification.
Date-wise, activity clusters tightly: 21 of the 50 rows fall between 2025-05-07 and 2025-02-19 (including multiple $10M–$36M rounds such as DarGlobal’s $165M on 2025-08-25 and SolitAir Holding’s $36M on 2025-02-16). Geographically, most entries are Dubai-based, while Abu Dhabi and Sharjah appear as smaller concentrations (e.g., Sharjah Islamic Bank in Sharjah on 2025-02-19). Sector patterns also show concentration around Financial Services, which appears in at least five entries (e.g., Qashio $20M on 2025-05-27, NOW Money $4M on 2024-06-12, and Huspy undisclosed on 2024-05-22), and “undisclosed” amounts recur frequently (22 of 50 rows).

Frequently asked
What’s the biggest disclosed round here, and does it materially change the size distribution?
ADQ’s $2.0B round on 2025-05-07 is an outlier: the next-largest disclosed entries are Sharjah Islamic Bank at $500M (2025-02-19) and Pathfinder at $325M (2024-07-24), both far below ADQ.
Which city shows the strongest concentration, and are there notable single-city anchors?
Dubai dominates the list (e.g., DarGlobal $165M on 2025-08-25; Related $8M on 2025-06-23; Keyper $30M on 2024-05-16), while Abu Dhabi appears repeatedly but more sparingly (e.g., ADQ $2.0B on 2025-05-07; Verofax Limited $3M on 2024-08-27). Sharjah is present with a key anchor in financial services: Sharjah Islamic Bank at $500M on 2025-02-19.
Do rounds cluster into a specific time window near the top of the “most recent” list?
Yes. Many rows cluster between mid-2025 and early 2025, including multiple disclosed events across May 2025 such as ADQ $2.0B (2025-05-07), Qashio $20M (2025-05-27), and Budget $3M (2025-05-02), with additional concentration extending into late February 2025 (e.g., SolitAir Holding $36M on 2025-02-16).
Is the sector mix balanced, or does Financial Services repeat often within “Series Unknown”?
Financial Services is repeatedly represented (at least five entries): Qashio ($20M, 2025-05-27), ADQ ($2.0B, 2025-05-07), NOW Money ($4M, 2024-06-12), and CrossVal (undisclosed, 2024-06-10), plus Huspy (undisclosed, 2024-05-22). Other sectors appear, but less consistently.
How often are amounts undisclosed, and does that affect identifying outliers by disclosed size?
Undisclosed amounts appear in 22 of the 50 rows, which means disclosed-size outlier comparisons rely on a smaller subset. Even so, the disclosed extremes remain clear: Bluelinks Agency at $10K (2024-11-01) and ADQ at $2.0B (2025-05-07).
