talabat, the leading on-demand delivery platform in the Middle East and North Africa, has priced its initial public offering (IPO) at the top of its price range, raising $2.04 billion. The company increased its offering size from 15% to 20% of its total share capital to accommodate substantial investor demand, it announced last week. The final offer price was set at AED 1.60 per share, implying a market cap of $10.16 billion at listing. The IPO saw significant interest from international, regional, and local investors, resulting in a double-digit oversubscription level. This marks the largest global technology IPO in 2024 and the largest IPO in the Middle East & North Africa this year. It is also among the top ten global IPOs this year.

Looking to build strategic partnerships for your business? I ask the Blacklane Global Head of Partnerships and ex-Careem Director Adib Samara the key to raising 9 figures of funding, the best financial advice he's ever received, and the biggest mistake he sees founders make. "One mistake founders make is to think they can do everything themselves and they don't ask for help. Another mistake is they think entrepreneurship in itself is fun and cool. In reality it's tough, and if your business isn't solving for something, then you're in a lot of trouble.

At the upper price range, Talabat's valuation would be around $10.2 billion, slightly below its parent company Delivery Hero's $11 billion market value and Emirates NBD's estimate of $14.4 billion. This IPO follows recent underperforming regional deals, including Lulu Retail's $1.7 billion IPO in Abu Dhabi and Oman's energy unit's $2 billion offering.

As the UAE marks its 53rd National Day, I reflect on its remarkable journey of innovation and growth in the region. Under the visionary leadership of HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and HH Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the UAE has positioned itself as a hub for technology, collaboration, and opportunity. Initiatives like the Dubai D33 Agenda, DIFC’s Innovation Hub, and Hub71 in Abu Dhabi are propelling advancements in AI, Blockchain, FinTech, and PropTech, transforming industries such as trade, real estate, and digital banking. The DIFC stands out as a world-class financial and innovation center, attracting entrepreneurs and global businesses to co-create the future. The Middle East is a magnet for global talent, investors, and innovators seeking to shape the next frontier. Having spent 20 years building businesses globally, I’ve seen the Middle East emerge as the place where bold ideas thrive. Now is the time to collaborate, innovate, and drive meaningful impact. Happy UAE National Day! #UAE53 #DIFC #DubaiD33 #Innovation #AI #FinTech #Blockchain #DigitalTransformation #GlobalTalent #MiddleEastOpportunities #Collaboration

#VC Valuation in MENA; A Reality Check - a report by Jada Fund of Funds INSEAD Kҽყ Tαƙҽαɯαყʂ: 💡The MENA startup ecosystem has reached a critical inflection point, with Saudi Arabia emerging as a key player due to initiatives like Vision 2030 💡 Early-stage valuations in MENA have shown resilience compared to later-stage valuations, which have seen more significant declines. 💡 Most funds use multiple valuation methodologies, especially for early-stage companies. 💡 There's a growing trend towards using third-party valuers for more objective and consistent valuations. 💡 SAFE notes have become prevalent, but their implications on cap tables and future rounds are not always fully understood. Aɾҽαʂ σϝ Cσɳƈҽɾɳ: 🔴 Cap Table Complexity: The proliferation of SAFE notes and complex term sheets is leading to convoluted cap tables, potentially deterring future investors. 🔴 Valuation Inconsistencies: Different funds valuing the same company at vastly different levels indicates a lack of standardization in valuation practices. 🔴 Liquidity Preference Understanding: Many funds are only now grappling with the implications of liquidity preferences in down rounds or exits. 🔴 Frequency of Valuations: While some funds are moving towards quarterly valuations, many still only value annually, potentially leading to outdated NAVs. 🔴 Secondary Market Immaturity: The secondary market in MENA appears underdeveloped, with most transactions occurring at a standard 20% discount regardless of share class or rights. 🔴 Venture Debt Growth: The rapid increase in venture debt deals, while providing additional funding options, could lead to complex capital structures if not managed properly. Cαʅʅ ƚσ Aƈƚισɳ ϝσɾ ƚԋҽ Iɳʋҽʂƚɱҽɳƚ Cσɱɱυɳιƚყ ƚσ ҽɳαႦʅҽ ƚԋҽ Ⴆυιʅԃιɳɠ σϝ α ɱσɾҽ ɾσႦυʂƚ, ƚɾαɳʂραɾҽɳƚ, αɳԃ ʂυʂƚαιɳαႦʅҽ ιɳʋҽʂƚɱҽɳƚ ҽɳʋιɾσɳɱҽɳƚ.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 🥁 Work towards more standardized valuation practices across the MENA VC ecosystem 🥁 Invest in educating founders and early-stage investors about the long-term implications of complex cap tables and term sheets. 🥁 Move towards more frequent (at least quarterly) valuations to provide LPs with up-to-date information. 🥁 Foster a more mature secondary market with appropriate pricing mechanisms for different share classes and rights. 🥁 Encourage more open dialogue between funds, founders, and LPs about valuation methodologies 🥁 Work with regulatory bodies to develop guidelines that balance innovation with investor protection, particularly around newer instruments like SAFE notes. 🥁 While adapting to current market conditions, maintain a long-term perspective on value creation #venturecapital #menaregion #safenotes #valuations
