Yawmi, Dubai-based F&B and e-commerce startup just closed a seed round from Shorooq Investments.
The startup Yawmi, was launched in the beginning of 2018. Following a similar model to food delivery platforms, Yawmi allows users to order home-style Levantine cuisine without operating an actual restaurant.
Although the amount has not been disclosed yet, the startup states that they’ll be using the investment to expand their offerings and are looking to expand in other markets besides Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with the aim of eventually going abroad.
Shane Shin, founding partner at Shorooq Investments commented on the investment stating: “We are excited to join the journey of Yawmi at such an early stage and are committed to building it together – expanding across various cities, countries and regions, far surpassing a traditional reach of a typical F&B startup. We are confident that Yawmi’s business model can withstand the upcoming recession, giving it a competitive edge over traditional F&B venture.”
