Wow, that’s a pretty steep drop in funding for MENA start-ups! $134 million across 56 deals is still decent, but a 52% decrease is definitely concerning. It seems like the investment landscape is getting a bit rocky. I wonder if this trend will continue or if we’ll see a bounce back soon. It’s tough out there, especially with debt financing making up a chunk of that total. Hopefully, more innovative projects will still find the support they need. Game on, MENA!
