The Cairo Angels Syndicate Fund has made an investment in Gulf family entertainment marketplace QiDZ, the VC fund announced in a statement (pdf) yesterday. A representative from the fund declined to disclose how much was invested when we asked, telling us only that it amounted to “six figures” while declining to specify the currency in question.

About the company: The QiDZ app allows parents to search for and book kid-friendly activities and restaurants. Founded by five moms in Dubai, the platform initially launched in the UAE before expanding to Saudi Arabia.

Where the money’s going: The investment will help QiDZ expand into new markets in the region, improve the platform’s tech infrastructure, and increase staff count.

Next stop Egypt? The company is planning to enter Egypt at the end of 2022 or in early 2023, the fund told us. It is also exploring other markets in the GCC.
