Timing. Relevance. Relationships.

Fundz is the only platform that reads more than a dozen real‑time signals all day, every day, so you know about new funding, new executives and new contracts within minutes of them happening, not days or weeks later like the databases you’re used to. It then combines the signals on each company, scores every company against what you offer, and weaves in your own network, so you discover new accounts first and work existing ones better.

Each morning you get the ones worth your time right now: who to reach, why now, and who you already know there. Now it answers in Claude too: ask for today’s leads, then write the note in the same window.

Description

Mal, an Abu Dhabi-based fintech founded in 2025, has closed a $230 million seed round, described as the largest publicly announced fintech seed investment in the Middle East and Africa. The company has received in-principle approval from the Central Bank of the UAE to establish a licensed bank, transitioning from a technology proposition to a regulated financial institution. Mal is building an AI-native banking platform with embedded artificial intelligence in core architecture, offering global accounts, personal finance tools, lifestyle financing, and SME solutions. The platform is designed around Islamic financial principles as a core design philosophy rather than product-level compliance.
