The story

Founded in 2019 (launched 2020) as an Egyptian online marketplace for home furniture and décor, targeting the fragmented offline furniture retail market in MENA. Grew quickly through Series A and B funding to become Egypt's largest online furniture platform. Has been layering in embedded finance — notably BNPL at checkout — as a Trojan horse to drive conversion on high-ticket furniture purchases.
