MENAPT VC Funding Roundup – February 2025 | $2.21B Raised Across 150 Deals

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

Tabby (Saudi Arabia) – $160M Series E backed by Blue Pool Capital & Hassana

Dream Security (Israel) – $100M Series B led by Bain Capital Ventures

Flow48 (UAE) – $69M Series A led by Breega

Blockaid (Israel) – $50M Series B led by Ribbit Capital

From quantum computing and BNPL platforms to AI-driven cybersecurity and Web3 fraud detection, February’s top deals reflect investor confidence in scalable, tech-forward solutions. Saudi Arabia and Israel continue to lead the region’s innovation charge, while UAE’s Flow48 signals growing traction in SME financing.
