UAE leads Mena peers in start-up funding deals below $100m – The National

The UAE continues to lead over its peers in Mena markets in terms of non-mega funding for start-ups, having secured more than $150 million across 30 deals in the first quarter of the year, a report has found.

Mega funding refers to big-ticket deals in excess of $100 million.

More than 60 per cent of the total funding in the UAE came from the top three rounds recorded by FinTech company Tabby, dine-in payment disrupter Qlub and online coffee marketplace Cofe.
