Fintech Sector Leads VC Investments in Q1 2024

In Q1 2024, the Fintech sector led VC investments in MENA, amassing US $195 million, propelled by Moove’s US $100 million Series B megaround in March. 

The Marketing sector followed closely, raising $149 million, primarily due to Mecca-based startup Salla’s US $130 million late-stage VC round. 

Rounding out the top 3, the Transportation sector secured $116 million, also driven by Moove’s Series B funding round.

Note: There can be instances of double counting as some startups, like Moove, span multiple sectors such as Fintech and Transportation.
