Company's first outside round after 11 bootstrapped years; funds went to the Ureed marketplace and an Arabic MT engine. Post-money valuation of $25M is per Slator quoting the CEO (Slator page returned 403 on direct fetch; figure taken from search snippet), not in the press release. Wikipedia's Ureed article says Wamda Capital also invested in 2019, but the press release, Wamda and Arab News name only Anova, and Wamda's 2025 headline says Wamda Capital 'joins' in 2025.
