The birth of Yassir

The step up
In 2019 Yassir raised $13M from a Seed Round, which allowed them to launch e-commerce and delivery domains.
The boost
In 2021 Yassir has caught the eyes of the world's largest startup incubator: YCombinator. and picked up $30M, prestigious funding from the US, which was great support for their expansion plan.
The flight
In 2022, Yassir picked up $130M from the Series B funding, 5 times what it raised in its previous priced round with world class investors such as BOND and Y Combinator. In parallel, Yassir opened the tech hub in Europe and is looking for talents to join the tech hub and take part in this expansion.
