Egypt’s ArabyAds, the leading ad-tech company in the MENA region, has raised US$30 million in Pre-Series B funding round to expand its footprint regionally and globally.
Founded in 2013 in Egypt, with headquarters in the UAE and tech hubs across Egypt, Tunisia and Jordan, ArabyAds helps advertisers in customer acquisition, retention, and monetisation by leveraging its technology platforms for influencer marketing (iConnect), coupon based advertising (Boostiny), retail media (Ritelo), live commerce (Dmenta), and on-device contextual advertising (Deviceboost).
The US$30 million pre-Series B funding comes from AfricInvest, a leading pan-African investment platform managing multiple alternative asset classes including private equity, venture capital and private credit. Provided via the AfricInvest Maghreb Private Equity Fund IV, the new financing will be used by ArabAds to expand its footprint and accelerate its technological advancement and talent acquisition.
