In an exciting development for the MENA region's startup community, fintech startup RasMal has successfully raised $4.8 million in a pre-Series A round. The funding round was led by Syndicate Element Holding Group (SHG).
Headquartered in Riyadh, RasMal is the first platform in the MENA region dedicated to cap table management and investment governance. Founded in 2019 by Basil Alkuraya and Nasser Al-Tamimi, the company offers a range of essential tools designed to simplify fundraising and help startups and investors manage equity ownership structures and investor relations more efficiently.
With the fresh influx of funds, RasMal plans to introduce new tools and services aimed at further enhancing investment governance and cap table management. While specific details on these upcoming tools and services were not provided, the startup's ambition is clear: to facilitate easier fundraising and better governance processes in the MENA startup ecosystem.
In addition to its core offering, RasMal operates Pentugram, a wholly-owned platform that provides deal flow management and investor reporting tools. The company also offers tools for managing employee stock option plans (ESOP), AI-driven company valuation modeling, and automated legal documentation. RasMal's digital solutions are designed to automate cap table management, fundraising, and equity transfers for private companies.
