Egypt’s startup ecosystem attracted financing across fintech, e-commerce, logistics, mobility, and other technology sectors in the first half of 2026. Startup Researcher has mapped the ten largest publicly announced startup financing transactions between January 1 and June 30, 2026, totaling approximately US$132.35 million. The ranking highlights the companies, financing amounts, and sectors represented, including both equity and mixed equity-and-debt transactions.
Methodology
This ranking covers ten publicly announced startup financing transactions associated with Egypt’s startup ecosystem between January 1 and June 30, 2026. It includes equity rounds and announcements combining equity and debt, with mixed transactions ranked by their total reported amounts rather than their equity components alone. Amounts, dates, stages, investors, and uses of proceeds were reviewed against publicly available company statements and credible media reports.
Valu was excluded because it is publicly traded, while MNT-Halan announced a US$1.4 billion valuation in June 2026 following the first close of a financing round without disclosing the investment amount. NowPay’s US$20 million announcement concerned a capital injection into NowAccess, its Saudi joint venture with Tas’heel, rather than a direct financing round into NowPay. These announcements therefore did not qualify for the ranking under the stated criteria.
FitXpert, a fitness and nutrition SaaS platform, announced a seven-figure investment from Foras Investment under the 0107 Invest initiative in January 2026. Because the amount was not disclosed precisely, the announcement could not be placed reliably within the ranking. Other transactions without sufficiently specific disclosed amounts were likewise not assigned a rank.
Transactions were ranked by their reported values in U.S. dollars. A tilde identifies an approximate amount, including HealthFlow’s reported round approaching US$1 million, whose exact size remains undisclosed. For mixed equity-and-debt financing, the headline amounts include both components and must not be interpreted as equity raised alone.
