Wuilt raises $535K Seed round to expand in KSA
Wuilt, a SaaS Arabic website builder where users can create their own professional websites in 5 minutes, has successfully raised a Seed funding round of $535K. The investment round included the participation of DAAL VC, prominent angel investors in MENA, and follow-on funding from Flat6Labs Cairo.
Since its launch in 2019, Wuilt has been working to provide new and existing customers and businesses across the MENA region with easy-to-use and affordable options for launching and scaling their digital presence especially in the field of Arabic e-commerce. The company currently serves 30,000+ users in Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
Co-Founded by Ahmed Rostom, Mohamed Hegazy, and Mahmoud Metwaly, Wuilt’s website building platform was curated to have all the necessary tools and components of a professional website at one’s fingertips. Enabling even those with little knowledge of website building to easily create and manage their Arabic website.
With the emergence and continuous spread of the pandemic, many businesses were forced to shift their operations online in order to stay active. Some of them had to either pay huge amounts to web development agencies or had to collaborate with freelancers who may or may have not been up to the task.
The new capital will be deployed to deepen its capabilities and expand its footprints in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which comprises nearly 30% of its customer base.
