Two AI-linked startups have raised nearly equal-sized fu<\/strong>nding rounds:<\/strong> AI-enabled growth marketing platform Yozo.ai<\/a> and cloud ins. platform Mantas, which has just exited stealth. <\/p>\n

#1- <\/strong>Yozo<\/a><\/strong> raised USD 1.7 mn in a pre-seed funding round<\/strong>, which it will use to build a go-to-market execution team and to invest in different distribution channels for merchant acquisition, Founder Hossam Ali told EnterpriseAM UAE. The funding round was co-led by Abu Dhabi-based Access Bridge Ventures and Egypt\u2019s Disruptech Ventures, with participation from Arzan VC, Oraseya Capital, Plus VC, Suhail Ventures, Glint Ventures, and M-Empire Angels, according to a press release (pdf)<\/a>. <\/p>\n

What does it do? <\/strong>Founded in 2025 by Hossam Ali (LinkedIn<\/a>) and Abdallah Moheb El\u2011Din (LinkedIn<\/a>) \u2014 the duo behind Egypt\u2019s B2B e-commerce marketplace Fatura, which they both exited in a sale to EFG Hermes\u2019 Tanmeyah<\/a> \u2014 the startup is developing an AI-native full-stack platform that automates the work of e-commerce growth and retention teams. The platform independently manages email, WhatsApp, and SMS marketing, from content to strategy execution and automated optimization. <\/p>\n

What next?<\/strong> The company\u2019s initial focus is on expanding to the US, where \u201ce-commerce operators face some of the highest acquisition costs and operational complexity in the world,\u201d Ali said. <\/p>\n

#2<\/strong>- UAE-based c<\/strong>loud ins. platform <\/strong>Mantas<\/strong> secured USD 1.8 mn in<\/strong> a seed <\/strong>round<\/strong>, according to a press release<\/a>. Investors include Dubai-headquartered Nuwa Capital, Abu Dhabi-based Plus VC, and Saudi Arabia\u2019s Suhail Ventures and Oqal Angel Syndicate, among other angels. The capital will fund product development, modeling for its risk insights, and early product rollout across MENA and North America.<\/p>\n

A closer <\/strong>look: <\/strong>Mantas is essentially an ins. platform focusing on cloud services outages and downtime from cloud infrastructure failures. It uses specific parameters to offer automatic payouts for verified outages, as well as instant risk analysis, and targets firms using cloud systems in everyday operations like fintechs, e-commerce players, airlines, and SaaS providers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
