Egyptian deeptech startup Intella has closed a US$3.4 million pre-Series A funding round to fuel its expansion into the Saudi market and support the development of end-to-end AI models localised for the MENA region. Founded in 2021 by Nour Altaher and Omar Mansour, Intella offers real-time, on-demand market research for its business clients across diverse sectors. The startup raised a US$1 million seed round last year, led by Hala Ventures, and the same investor has now returned to co-lead its US$3.4 million pre-Series A alongside Wa’ed Ventures, the VC arm of Aramco. The new funding will fuel Intella’s expansion into the Saudi market and support the development of end-to-end AI models localised for the MENA region. This move fits perfectly with our plans for expansion,” said Nour Taher, CEO and co-founder of Intella.
