Zeew, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) startup based in Egypt, has raised a six-figure investment seed round from angel investors based in Estonia. In order to develop its team and expand its marketing activities, the startup aims to use the investment to add more features and tailor its product offering to suit the needs of each market.
“The pandemic has changed consumer behaviour and removed the barrier to using technology in getting day-to-day essentials, we see growth in grocery, pharmacy as well as food delivery. Now it became the new norm to order everything from an app,” said Mohamed Ghaith, founder of Zeew.
