February 2025 marked a turning point for MENAPT’s venture capital landscape. After a tough 2024, total deal value surged by 91.6% year-over-year, reaching $2.21 billion. But while funding rebounded, deal count continued to decline—just 150 rounds, down from 328 in February 2023—highlighting a shift toward fewer, larger, and more strategic investments.
📌 Top 5 Funding Rounds:
Quantum Machines (Israel) – $170M Series C led by PSG Equity

Dream Security (Israel) – $100M Series B led by Bain Capital Ventures
Flow48 (UAE) – $69M Series A led by Breega
