The first equity crowdfunding campaign for Zameeli, an innovative platform that links Omani freelancers with SMEs, has been successfully concluded by Omani Fintech firm Mamun. In addition to Zameeli, which has now broadened its investment base to include the community and independent contractors, this is a noteworthy accomplishment for Oman’s tech industry, which is still growing and drawing a variety of capital.
After receiving funding from the Oman Technology Fund (OTF) at first, Zameeli has expanded its network of investors to include a wide variety of people through Mamun, demonstrating the startup’s attractiveness and Mamun’s efficacy in presenting investment opportunities.
Zameeli is an emerging leader in Oman’s tech industry, with 1,369 registered clients that include well-known companies like Omran and the Ministry of Information. It also boasts a thriving network of 3,368 Omani freelancers. The emergence of the platform represents a major step forward for the sultanate’s freelance sector.
The partnership between Mamun and Zameeli has concluded successfully, paving the way for Mamun’s secondary market launch. This event is expected to create new opportunities by boosting participation in Oman’s financial ecosystem and promoting innovation in the country’s tech sector.
In a press statement, Mohammed al Tamami, COO of Mamun, said, “The successful conclusion of our secondary market represents a significant stride towards building an ecosystem of investment and trust within Oman. Beyond facilitating transactions, our mission is to cultivate a culture of financial empowerment and to harness the exceptional talent within our region.”
“Zameeli’s equity crowdfunding campaign via Mamun exemplifies our commitment to bolstering the local freelancer economy and pioneering tech innovation, fostering a community where trust-based investments can thrive and reshape Oman’s investment landscape,” he added.
Tariq al Habsi, Co-founder and CEO of Zameeli, emphasised the platform’s commitment to its community. He said, “As Zameeli enters its growth phase, our recent fundraising efforts are strategically designed to empower our freelancers—the very heart of our community. We are dedicating a portion of our current raise to ensure that they can actively contribute to and benefit from the platform’s future.”
“Our aspiration is to evolve Zameeli into a community-driven platform that is not only shaped by but also shares its success with our freelancers. This collaborative approach not only ensures our sustainability and resilience but also reflects the spirit of unity and innovation that defines Oman’s tech sector and its businesses,” he said.
Mamun offers an uncommon opportunity to participate in innovative equity and financing transactions that enhance Oman’s tech industry and businesses to both seasoned and novice investors. This program demonstrates the community-centric philosophy that Zameeli has advocated and represents a critical step in developing a culture of investment and trust in Oman.
