The investment was led by RAED Ventures with participation from Impact46, Seedra Ventures, Derayah Venture and Sukna Ventures. The funds raised will fuel the expand the social trading platform’s product offering and network across the globe, with a focus on the MENA region, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

The $5 million fundraiser is considered one of the largest Seed funding rounds for a fintech company in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The firm acquired a permit from the Saudi Capital Market Authority to conduct financial technology experiments by the end of the same year and was officially launched in July 2021.

Copy trading platforms have grown in popularity as more and more novice investors look to follow professional traders and their portfolios and investment strategies in order to optimize the risk-reward in the capital markets.

Dawul has plans to expand its social trading-related products and its network in the Middle East and North Africa as well as the American and British markets.
