Saudi-Egyptian startup <\/strong>Darwinz AI<\/a><\/strong> raised USD 325k in a seed funding round<\/strong> led by Flat6Labs KSA and Glint Ventures, the company said in a statement. The round marks the company\u2019s first institutional funding round after having until now been bootstrapped by its co-founders, co-founder Mohy Aboualam told EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n

Darwinz AI?<\/strong> Founded in Egypt in 2021 by Emad Elazhary and Mohy Aboualam, Darwinz AI is a startup that offers an AI copilot that helps marketing and PR teams \u201cincrease their daily productivity by up to 80%\u201d by helping track brand sentiment, detect potential crises, and analyze media coverage in real time through its flagship product Dima<\/a>, Aboualam told us. The Arabic-first platform launched in late 2024 is now used by 300+ professionals across six MENA countries, including agencies and enterprise clients in telecoms, F&B, banking, real estate, automotive, aviation, and the public sector.<\/p>\n

The fresh funds will go towards driving the startup's expansion ambitions<\/strong>, starting off with expanding its presence in the GCC from its office in Riyadh's The Garage. But the company also has more global ambitions beyond the 6 MENA nations it currently operates in, with the company \u201cworking on the productization aspect of our copilot to ensure it\u2019s ready for the next phase of global expansion in 2026,\u201d Aboualam said.<\/p>\n

Capital will also go towards further building its Dima platform<\/strong>, guided by their \u201cgrowing customer base and their feedback as they use the copilot in their daily operations.\u201d \u201cWe do not plan to roll out any new products, only further advancements in Dima to ensure we are the best solution or optimal solution globally in the specific use cases we are planning to copilot,\u201d Aboualam explained.<\/p>\n

Its new backers will bring more to the table than just fresh financing<\/strong>, with Darwinz AI looking to benefit from Flat6Labs and Glint Ventures\u2019s experience building up and scaling companies, we were told.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next? <\/strong>Following the seed round, Darwinz AI will knuckle down on following through on its set businesses plan before launching another funding round in 2H 2026 ahead of expanding outside the region. \u201cI would love in the next 18 months to have clients in countries that we never visited find, subscribe and benefit from Dima online,\u201d Aboualam said.<\/p>\n
