A Dubai meal startup named Funch just got half a million bucks in early funding. Angelspark led the round, with cash from investors like Swvl's founder, Mostafa Kandil, and others. The company was started by Ahmad Joehnny and Ghada Zanaty.
Funch sells a lunch subscription for 19 Dirhams daily. It uses a credit system instead of a rigid weekly plan. Customers can skip days or cancel easily. They set their food preferences once, then get fresh meals delivered without extra fees.
The company calls itself AI-native. It uses artificial intelligence to predict orders and cut down on food waste. The funding will help it expand in Dubai and improve its tech. A co-founder stated their pre-order model increases efficiency and supports local sustainability goals.
