Homegrown UAE company Zbooni has announced it has just closed its latest funding round of $1.1 million from Chalhoub Group and B&Y Venture Partners to continue to grow the business.
With a strong growth record over two years, it is handling millions of dirhams of sale transactions per month through its connected chat commerce app. The app is designed specifically for the needs of merchants in a social first era, helping them convert sale through easy payment with customers via services such as WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook.
The company was one of only eight companies across the world, and the only one from the Middle East, to take part in a six-month incubator programme at Facebook, the world’s largest social media network.
