Investors: Arzan VC, 500 Startups, Dubai Angel Investors, Hala Ventures, Dtec Ventures

Company press page and Wamda name Arzan VC as lead (quote from Arzan partner Laith Zraikat); MENAbytes lists the same five investors without naming a lead. Hala Ventures (the later acquirer's VC arm) was already an investor here.
