Hekouky Raises Pre-Seed Funding Round
The Egyptian Legal-Tech Startup provides a one-stop-shop for company incorporation and trademark registration.
Hekouky said it has raised an undisclosed amount of pre-seed funding to expand nationwide.
Earlier this year, the startup was one of 12 startups selected to take part in the second cohort of the Google for Startups Accelerator Middle East and North Africa, a three-month digital accelerator programme for seed to Series A technology startups based in the region.
Hekouky has now raised an undisclosed amount in a pre-seed funding round led by Nama Ventures, which it will use to expand operations across Egypt.
Hala Riad, Co-Founder Hekouky said: “Our mission is to make entrepreneurs feel safe to follow their dreams, in Egypt and in the Mena region. Entrepreneurship is a test of wills, one that we will make easier by taking the legal burden off your shoulders.”
Mohammed Alzubi, managing partner at Nama Ventures added: “We firmly believe that the reg-tech space in Mena is ripe for disruption. There are tremendous inefficacies in the legal space that technology can help bridge. What we saw in Hala, Mayy, and Fatima is a team that has a very good command on what it takes to build a great reg-tech startup.”
