Frequently asked
Which disclosed round is the outlier by size, and what sits immediately behind it?
HEA Energy’s $550M disclosed round on 2026-06-15 is the outlier; the next-largest disclosed amount is $250M from CargoX on 2026-06-02. After that, $100M rounds appear (AMEA Power on 2026-05-20 and Beaufond on 2026-05-16).
How concentrated are the biggest disclosed deals—are they all in one sector or spread out?
The $100M+ disclosed cluster is spread across multiple themes rather than one narrow vertical: AMEA Power ($100M, 2026-05-20, Energy, Dubai) and HEA Energy ($550M, 2026-06-15, Energy, Abu Dhabi) sit in energy, while Beaufond ($100M, 2026-05-16, Health Care, Dubai) and Communication and Renewable Energy Infrastructure ($90M, 2026-06-17, Hardware, Dubai) reflect adjacent sectors.
Does the Dubai vs Abu Dhabi split show any concentration among larger disclosed rounds?
Dubai accounts for 38 of 50 entries overall, and the largest disclosed deals include multiple Dubai-linked companies: Comfi ($65M, 2026-04-27, Financial Services, Dubai), CNTXT ($60M, 2026-06-16, AI, Abu Dhabi), and Communication and Renewable Energy Infrastructure ($90M, 2026-06-17, Hardware, Dubai). Abu Dhabi also hosts the top disclosed amount (HEA Energy at $550M on 2026-06-15) and another major entry (CargoX at $250M on 2026-06-02).
What stage-label mix dominates the disclosed funding profile in this list?
Across the 50 rows, Series Unknown (17) and Seed (16) are the two largest stage-label groups. In practice, many of the highest disclosed deals are not limited to one single label; for example, HEA Energy is “Series Unknown” ($550M, 2026-06-15) while Moment is Series A ($22M, 2026-08-04).
Are there very small disclosed rounds that stand out against the large-dollar cluster?
Yes. ADBX is the smallest disclosed amount at $50K on 2026-06-09 (Pre-Seed, Financial Services, Abu Dhabi). At the same time, the disclosed distribution reaches far beyond $10M with 15 rounds at $10M+ (e.g., Moment $22M on 2026-08-04 and CredibleX $15M on 2026-05-06), indicating a long tail from micro-disclosed to mega-disclosed rounds.
Where do the list’s temporal edges fall, and how recent is the latest entry?
The oldest row in the set is dated 2026-04-17 (Ray, Seed, Energy, Dubai; $1M disclosed). The most recent entry is Naran on 2026-08-13 (Seed, Abu Dhabi; $10M disclosed), with entries continuing throughout 2026 rather than concentrated in a single narrow month range.
