The round was led by Oraseya Capital (the VC arm of Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority) with participation from Ibtikar Fund, Cedar Mundi Ventures, Samarium, iSME, and returning investor Razor Capital.

The company intends to use the funds to accelerate its growth, expand AI capabilities, and continue delivering tools for the podcast value chain.
