Almentor, a video-based online learning platform for the Middle East and North Africa, has raised $6.5m in a Series B round led by Partech from its Africa Fund.
The startup was founded in 2016 when Ihad Fikry and Ibrahim Kamel decided there was a need to cater to the learning needs in the MENA region that were not provided by other platforms.
âWe live in a region with a population of 400 million-plus people but 90% of them cannot learn properly in any other language but Arabic,â Ihab Fikry, Almentorâs co-founder and CEO, says to TechCabal.
