Dubai Chamber Connects Seven Startups With Oraseya Capital

The Dubai Chamber of Digital Economy organized a pitching session connecting seven technology startups with Oraseya Capital's investment team and its SANDBOX Investment Program. Several of the participating companies advanced to the next stage of Oraseya Capital's evaluation process, according to Dubai Chambers.

Oraseya Capital, the investment arm of Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ), manages an AED500 million fund for technology startups from pre-seed to Series B. Its SANDBOX program offers potential investments ranging from AED550,000 to AED11 million, alongside mentorship and investment-readiness support.

The seven startups were Arakan, Duno, YOUNEA, Riayatech, Avelin, SENSI and Cogniver, operating across business compliance, lending intelligence, artificial intelligence, health technology, digital scent and enterprise automation. The founders presented their business models, products and plans for growth and expansion, then received feedback on the fund's evaluation and investment requirements.
