Second close of the Series B: Arab News (2022-09-28) headlines 'raises USD 11M Series B', which per Entrepreneur ME is the cumulative Series B (USD 5M Feb 2020 + USD 6M new money). TechCrunch and Wamda (Jan 2026) refer to 'the original Series B of USD 6M from 2022', corroborating the USD 6M second close. Recorded as USD 6M to avoid double-counting the 2020 tranche.

Company did not disclose the amount; it states total raised to date became USD 3.4M. Forbes ME reports 'about USD 1.2M' and says it completed the Series A; the arithmetic from Wamda's USD 2.9M (Oct 2016) to USD 3.4M implies ~USD 0.5M; MENAbytes calls the combined 2016+2018 money a USD 3M Series A. Amount left null per company statement — see conflicts.

Lead: Pinnacle

Investors: Pinnacle, 500 Startups

Wamda labels it a 'post-seed round' led by Bahrain fund Pinnacle; total raised to date stated as USD 2.9M. 500 Startups is listed by the company (June 2018 press post) as an existing investor alongside Pinnacle and Tenmou, so it most likely joined in this round, but the 2016 article itself names only Pinnacle. MENAbytes (2018) retroactively treats this USD 2M as the first tranche of the Series A.
