Egyptian Fintech Unicorn MNT-Halan Eyes Major IPO as Valuation Approaches $1 Billion

Leadership team of Egyptian fintech unicorn MNT-Halan as the company explores a potential IPO in Egypt.

The potential public listing could become one of Egypt’s largest fintech IPOs and marks another milestone in the country’s rapidly evolving digital finance ecosystem.

Egypt’s first fintech unicorn, MNT-Halan, is reportedly exploring an initial public offering (IPO) that could value the company’s Egyptian operations at between $900 million and $1 billion, positioning it as one of the country’s most significant technology listings to date. The move could also elevate founder and CEO Mounir Nakhla among Egypt’s most prominent tech entrepreneurs.

Founded in 2018, MNT-Halan has developed into one of the Middle East and North Africa’s leading digital financial services platforms. Through its super app, the company offers unsecured consumer lending, buy-now-pay-later solutions, digital payments, e-commerce services, savings products, and financing for merchants and small businesses. Its technology-driven credit scoring system enables access to financial services for millions of underserved consumers who have limited relationships with traditional banks.

A Potential Milestone for Egypt’s Fintech Sector

The company is reportedly working with financial advisors, including Citigroup and EFG Hermes, as it evaluates a potential listing on the Egyptian Exchange (EGX). While no final decision has been announced, the IPO discussions reflect growing confidence in Egypt’s fintech ecosystem and increasing investor appetite for technology-driven financial services businesses.

MNT-Halan achieved unicorn status in 2023 and recently secured additional investment that reportedly lifted its overall valuation to approximately $1.4 billion across its regional operations. The company has expanded beyond Egypt into markets including Türkiye, the United Arab Emirates, and Pakistan through a combination of acquisitions and organic growth initiatives.

The potential listing arrives as Egypt’s capital markets seek to attract more growth-stage technology companies. Industry observers believe a successful MNT-Halan IPO could encourage other private technology firms to consider public market listings, further strengthening Egypt’s position as an emerging fintech hub in the region.

Revora Raises $2 Million Investment for AI-Powered Commerce in MENA

Revora completed a $2 million seed funding round to scale AI-focused conversational commerce solutions in the MENA region. The e-commerce AI startup, formerly known as “MyAlice” and headquartered in Saudi Arabia, aims to accelerate its growth in the GCC market, particularly Saudi Arabia, with the new investment.

The funding round was co-led by i2i Ventures and Oraseya Capital. Anchorless Bangladesh, Conjunction Capital, F6 Ventures, Hi2 Global, Orbit Startups, and strategic angel investors including Salman Butt, co-founder of Salla, also participated in the round.

AI-Powered E-Commerce Infrastructure with Revora

Founded in 2021 by Shuvo Rahman and Daniyal Baig, Revora develops an AI-focused operating platform for e-commerce sellers. The platform offers product recommendations through AI agents, recovers abandoned carts, can accept payments within conversations, and structures sellers’ product catalogs in a way that is suitable for AI-powered commerce.

Revora announced that, by repositioning from the MyAlice brand, it has transformed from being only a conversational commerce tool into an integrated AI operating platform for e-commerce sellers. The company stated that the winning sellers in the coming period will not be those with many tools, but those who replace these tools with a smarter and integrated AI layer.

Operating in More Than 21 Countries

Revora currently operates in more than 21 countries. The company announced that its revenue increased 10 times after shifting its focus to Saudi Arabia and the GCC region in late 2024. According to Revora, brands achieve a 15 percent to 20 percent revenue increase with the platform’s AI-powered sales and campaign solutions.

Revora’s AI agents can manage the sales process in customers’ own dialects through WhatsApp, Instagram, or brands’ own websites. These agents can recommend products, recover carts, and complete the payment process directly within the conversation.

“The Way People Buy Is Changing”

Revora Co-Founder Shuvo Rahman said that artificial intelligence is changing not only the way companies sell, but also the way people buy. Rahman said, “We are building Revora on a single assumption: The businesses that will win the next decade will be the ones that an AI can understand, represent, and sell on behalf of.”

Revora Co-Founder Daniyal Baig stated that the most important indicator for the company is not investment, but sellers generating real revenue through the platform. Baig said that this is the core metric they focus on and that they are developing the product in line with this goal.

The Investment Will Be Directed to Growth in Saudi Arabia

Revora announced that the new investment will primarily be used to support growth in Saudi Arabia, the company’s largest and fastest-growing market. The fund will also be directed toward product development efforts for an e-commerce future in which more purchasing processes will move through artificial intelligence.

Daniyal Baig has more than 12 years of experience in the fields of media and fintech in the MENA region. Most recently serving as COO at Forbes Middle East, Baig also developed an inventory management product for small sellers in the region. Shuvo Rahman, before Revora, exited the agritech startup iFarmer and developed a technology platform that connected small farmers with financing, advisory services, and market access.

Investors emphasized that Revora is a company emerging from developing markets, designed according to the needs of the region, and generating concrete revenue in the field of artificial intelligence.

Strategic Support for E-Commerce Growth

The cooperation between SNB and Checkout will not be limited only to facilitating payment processes. The partnership also aims to support seller growth, encourage innovation in financial technologies, and make the digital commerce ecosystem in Saudi Arabia more competitive.

In a market where e-commerce is developing rapidly, a secure and uninterrupted payment infrastructure provides an important competitive advantage for brands. In this context, Checkout’s global experience and SNB’s strong position in the local market will offer businesses new opportunities for both regional and international growth.

Aligned with Saudi Vision 2030 Goals

The cooperation is also positioned in line with the Saudi Vision 2030 goals, which support Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation agenda. Within the scope of the partnership, SNB and Checkout will focus on encouraging innovation, facilitating the growth of sellers, and contributing to the development of the digital payment ecosystem in the Kingdom. This strategic step is considered an important development for the future of e-commerce in Saudi Arabia.

Payaza Launches AI-Powered Shopaza in 23 Countries

Africa-based fintech and payment technologies company Payaza has launched Shopaza, its AI-powered e-commerce platform developed to enable businesses in Africa to take a stronger position in digital commerce, across 23 countries. The platform particularly aims to make cross-border sales, secure payments, and digital store management processes more efficient for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Payaza Begins a New Era in Digital Commerce

Developed by Payaza, Shopaza is positioned as a next-generation e-commerce infrastructure that enables sellers to access different countries without being limited only to local markets. The platform offers businesses a more reliable sales environment with features such as verified seller registration, secure payment processing, buyer protection, and real-time transaction confirmation.

Supported by Payaza’s payment infrastructure, Shopaza helps sellers manage their transactions in a more organized way, increase customer trust, and reduce the operational burden caused by manual processes.

There Is Great Potential in African E-Commerce

Seyi Ebenezer, a fintech and commercial banking expert who announced the platform’s launch, drew attention to Africa’s current position in global e-commerce. According to Ebenezer, Africa accounts for only 2 percent of the global e-commerce market, which is valued at 3.88 trillion dollars.

Ebenezer also stated that 56 percent of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises in Nigeria still carry out their sales and invoicing processes largely manually through social media platforms such as WhatsApp and Instagram. This picture reveals the need for structured digital commerce solutions such as Shopaza.

Shopaza Will Facilitate Cross-Border Trade

By bringing together AI and integrated payment solutions, Shopaza aims to enable sellers to reach wider customer audiences. The platform is expected to contribute to entrepreneurs in Africa moving beyond local borders and participating more effectively in the global digital economy.

Seyi Ebenezer stated that Shopaza is not merely a short-term technology product, but a long-term initiative built on strong fundamental principles. Ebenezer emphasized that the platform was developed especially to support entrepreneurs who struggle to reach customers outside their own regions.

$100 Million Support for Africa’s Digital Economy

$100 Million Support for Africa’s Digital Economy

Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), one of Africa’s leading development finance institutions, announced that it will invest up to $100 million in Africa-focused technology funds to grow the continent’s digital economy. The new investment program aims to support technology startups, digital infrastructure and Africa-based fund managers.

In the statement made by AFC, it was stated that the investment was designed to accelerate the digital transformation process in Africa and increase the share of local capital in the technology ecosystem.

The Digital Economy Is Expected to Reach $700 Billion in 2050

According to the institution, Africa’s digital economy is expected to contribute more than $700 billion to the continent’s economy by 2050. The rapid increase in the young population, growth in mobile internet usage and rising demand for digital services are cited as determining factors in the investment decision.

AFC President and CEO Samaila Zubairu stated that the young population in Africa is becoming a direct part of this transformation instead of waiting for digital transformation, and made the following statement: “Young Africans are not waiting for the digital economy to arrive. By adopting technology, they are creating new markets and producing solutions to real economic problems. This gives a strong investment signal.” Zubairu also emphasized that digital infrastructure has now become as critical as roads, ports, energy and railways.

First Investments in Lightrock Africa and Future Africa Funds

In the first phase of the $100 million investment program, AFC invested as an “anchor investor” in Lightrock Africa Fund II and Future Africa Fund III. Thus, it was announced that the institution would support funds investing at different levels, from early-stage ventures to growth-stage technology companies. The company announced that it will continue to evaluate new Africa-focused technology funds with different strategies in the coming period.

Africa’s Startup Ecosystem Is Gaining Strength

According to AFC data, the startup ecosystem in Africa has gained significant momentum in recent years. While 9 unicorn ventures have emerged across the continent to date, some Africa-based fund managers have achieved returns of up to 128 times on their investments. It was also stated that African startups received a total of $3.8 billion in investment in 2025 alone.

Despite this, it is stated that a large portion of venture capital investments still comes from international investors. AFC’s new investment program aims to increase local capital participation and enable Africa-based investors to play a stronger role in the technology ecosystem. The institution’s investment strategy includes not only venture financing, but also AI-focused talent development, digital infrastructure investments, data centers, connectivity technologies and device financing. In particular, it is aimed to include more people in the digital economy by increasing access to phones, computers and connectivity infrastructure.

Egypt’s First Integrated Digital Automotive E-Commerce Platform

In a landmark development for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) retail technology sector, Valu, Egypt’s leading universal financial technology powerhouse, has partnered with the digital automotive services marketplace, ElTawkeel.com. Executed through Valu’s specialised automotive financing arm, Valu Shift, this strategic alliance marks the official launch of Egypt’s first fully integrated digital automotive e-commerce platform dedicated exclusively to the brand-new car segment.

The groundbreaking initiative introduces a unified ecosystem where customers can browse, compare, book, pay for, and finance a new vehicle within a single, frictionless digital journey.

Overcoming Friction via Seamless Digital Automotive E-Commerce

Traditionally, purchasing a new vehicle in Egypt has been an offline, heavily fragmented process characterized by information ambiguity, tedious paperwork, and prolonged coordination between dealerships and financial institutions. By embedding Valu Shift’s fintech capabilities directly into ElTawkeel.com, the new platform fundamentally resolves these legacy pain points, establishing a high benchmark for the region’s digital automotive e-commerce sector.

The end-to-end digital architecture allows consumers to explore a diverse range of brand-new vehicles, leverage detailed comparison tools, and access transparent, official pricing. Most notably, buyers can now secure financing pre-approval within just one hour, eliminating the logistical bottlenecks that typically stall high-ticket retail transactions.

“This initiative marks an important milestone in further advancing Valu Shift’s role within Egypt’s automotive financing landscape,” said Mostafa El-Sahn, Chief Risk Officer of Valu. “Through our partnership with ElTawkeel.com, Valu Shift enables customers to receive financing pre-approvals within just one hour, delivering a fully digital and documented journey that removes the need to move between multiple entities to complete a vehicle purchase. By embedding financing directly within the new car-buying experience, we are simplifying a traditionally complex process while advancing greater transparency, efficiency, and accessibility across Egypt’s automotive market.”

Reorganizing Egypt’s Auto Market Through Digital Automotive E-Commerce

Beyond transactional speed, the platform is designed to structurally transform consumer behavior by offering comprehensive, native value-added services. Alongside flexible financing options, the interface integrates digital insurance solutions, allowing users to choose from competitive packages provided by leading insurance companies in real time.

This holistic approach shifts the industry from standard online listings to a robust digital automotive e-commerce ecosystem tailored specifically for modern, digital-first consumers.

“We are not just launching a car sales e-commerce platform; we are establishing a new model that completely reorganizes the automotive market in Egypt,” stated Ali Shaaban, Founder of ElTawkeel.com. “Our goal is to provide a transparent and integrated buying experience. We believe true digital transformation in this sector requires the integration of sales, financing, and insurance within one system, which is exactly what we have built at ElTawkeel.com.” Shaaban emphasized that Valu’s rapid, adaptable financing engine serves as the vital cornerstone required to build consumer trust and simplify complex multi-party procedures.

Scalable Fintech Backing the Future of Digital Automotive E-Commerce

The initiative relies heavily on Valu’s advanced financial technology stack and massive market footprint. As the first consumer finance-focused fintech company to list on the Egyptian Exchange (EGX: VALU.CA), Valu has maintained an aggressive growth trajectory. The company’s dynamic business model is further validated by a direct equity stake from global e-commerce giant Amazon.com.

Valu’s continuous scaling, including its recent expansion into Jordan under a specialised finance license from the Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ), provides the operational stability required to handle high-volume, large-scale transactions on ElTawkeel.com.

As global B2B and B2C retail trends increasingly shift toward embedded finance, this partnership demonstrates how digital marketplaces can successfully capture value in high-value sectors. By combining industry expertise with fintech innovation, Valu and ElTawkeel.com have created a sustainable roadmap for the evolution of digital automotive e-commerce across the wider MENA region.

Trade Between Türkiye and the UAE Tripled

Al Zeyoudi stated that Türkiye and the UAE have built a “strong and growing relationship” based on shared objectives and mutual respect, saying, “The results of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement between the two friendly countries clearly reflect this; non-oil trade between the two countries nearly tripled compared to 2022, before the agreement was signed and entered into force in 2023.”

Al Zeyoudi added that both countries are working to create broader opportunities for partnerships between their business communities, with the aim of supporting sustainable growth and long-term economic cooperation.

Khwarizmi Ventures Achieves Powerful $70M First Close for GCC Tech Startups

Saudi Arabia-based venture capital firm Khwarizmi Ventures has announced the first close of its second investment fund, securing more than $70 million in commitments to support early-stage technology startups across the GCC. The move reflects growing investor confidence in the Gulf’s expanding startup ecosystem, particularly in Saudi Arabia, which continues to strengthen its position as a regional venture capital hub.

Strong First Close Signals Investor Confidence

Khwarizmi Ventures confirmed that the first close of Fund II exceeded SAR 270 million ($70 million+), backed by institutional investors and major Saudi family offices. The fund will focus primarily on Seed and Series A startups developing scalable technology-driven businesses across GCC markets.

The VC firm stated that Fund II is designed to support ambitious founders building companies with regional and global expansion potential. The investment strategy will continue targeting sectors experiencing rapid digital transformation, including fintech, e-commerce, logistics, artificial intelligence, SaaS, and enterprise technology.

The announcement also highlights the increasing maturity of the GCC startup landscape, where venture funding activity has accelerated over the past few years due to economic diversification efforts and rising private-sector participation.

Saudi Arabia Continues Expanding Its Startup Ecosystem

Saudi Arabia has become one of the Middle East’s fastest-growing startup ecosystems, supported by initiatives aligned with Vision 2030. Government-backed programs, sovereign investment activity, and growing interest from institutional investors have significantly boosted the Kingdom’s technology sector.

Venture capital activity in Saudi Arabia has steadily increased as more startups secure regional and international funding rounds. The country’s push toward digital transformation, fintech innovation, and entrepreneurship development has created favorable conditions for investors seeking long-term growth opportunities in the region.

Khwarizmi Ventures’ latest fund launch comes amid rising demand for early-stage capital across the Gulf, where startups are increasingly targeting cross-border expansion from day one.

Building on the Success of Fund I

Founded in 2018, Khwarizmi Ventures has established itself as one of Saudi Arabia’s active early-stage investment firms. Its first fund, launched in 2021 with approximately $70 million in capital, invested in more than 30 startups across the MENA region.

The firm’s portfolio includes several fast-growing regional technology companies such as Calo, Eyewa, Tamara, and HALA. Khwarizmi Ventures has also recorded multiple successful exits from Fund I, strengthening its reputation within the regional investment ecosystem.

The company said the second fund aims to build on these results by identifying high-potential startups earlier and supporting them throughout their growth journey.

Focus on Long-Term Founder Support

Khwarizmi Ventures plans to write initial investment checks ranging between $1 million and $5 million while reserving additional capital for follow-on rounds in top-performing portfolio companies.

This strategy reflects a broader shift among GCC venture capital firms toward long-term founder support and sustainable scaling rather than short-term capital deployment. Investors across the region are increasingly prioritizing startups with strong fundamentals, scalable business models, and regional expansion capabilities.

Managing Partner Abdulaziz Al-Turki previously described the regional startup environment as a “golden opportunity” for early-stage investment, citing the growing number of technology unicorns and the increasing sophistication of founders emerging from the MENA ecosystem.

GCC Startup Market Attracts Global Attention

The Gulf startup ecosystem has continued attracting both regional and international investors as governments accelerate investments in digital infrastructure, AI, financial technology, and entrepreneurship programs.

Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and other GCC markets are witnessing stronger collaboration between private investors, sovereign wealth funds, accelerators, and venture capital firms. This momentum has helped position the region as one of the fastest-growing innovation markets globally.

Industry analysts expect Khwarizmi Ventures’ Fund II to play an important role in financing the next generation of GCC startups, particularly companies using Saudi Arabia as a launchpad for regional and international growth.

Dubai’s Integrated Digital Ecosystem Drives Positive High-Value Growth Opportunities

Dubai’s integrated digital ecosystem is emerging as a powerful engine for high-value opportunities and sustainable economic growth, reinforcing the emirate’s position as a global technology hub.

Technology leaders operating in Dubai highlight that the city’s advanced digital infrastructure and coordinated strategy are key factors enabling businesses to scale efficiently despite global economic uncertainty. The ecosystem combines world-class connectivity, regulatory clarity, and strong institutional support, creating a stable and innovation-driven environment.

A defining strength of Dubai’s model lies in the alignment between public and private sectors, which allows companies to rapidly innovate, adapt, and expand. This collaboration ensures that emerging technologies are not only developed but also effectively implemented across industries.

A Strategic Digital Environment Powering Innovation

Dubai’s ambition to become a leading global digital hub is supported by a structured, long-term vision. Initiatives led by organizations such as the Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy are accelerating investment flows, strengthening innovation capacity, and attracting global tech players.

Executives emphasize that the emirate offers a unique combination of access to global talent, pro-innovation policies, and a collaborative ecosystem. This environment enables startups and established firms alike to test new solutions and scale them rapidly.

The ecosystem is also deeply connected to broader national strategies focused on digital transformation and economic diversification. As a result, Dubai is not only adapting to global shifts but actively shaping the future of digital economies.

Talent, Infrastructure, and Vision at the Core

Access to top-tier international talent continues to be a critical advantage. Dubai attracts professionals from both Eastern and Western markets, creating a diverse and highly skilled workforce that fuels innovation.

At the same time, the emirate’s innovation-first mindset, shared across government entities and private enterprises, supports rapid experimentation and adoption of emerging technologies. This culture of openness plays a crucial role in maintaining Dubai’s competitive edge.

Business leaders also underline the importance of consistency in leadership vision, which provides stability during periods of global uncertainty and builds long-term confidence among investors and entrepreneurs.

Strengthening Global Position Through Digital Integration

Dubai’s integrated digital ecosystem is not a standalone initiative but part of a broader transformation toward a data-driven, AI-enabled economy. Recent directives to unify digital services across government platforms further reinforce this vision, aiming to streamline operations and enhance user experience.

By combining infrastructure, policy, and innovation, Dubai continues to position itself as a global launchpad for advanced technology and digital businesses. The result is a resilient ecosystem capable of attracting high-value investments while supporting sustainable, long-term growth.
