The round attracted participation from several venture firms, including 1818 Venture Capital, F6 Ventures, Sparked VC, IM Fndg, and IVP.

According to the company, the round was completed ahead of schedule in late 2025, allowing the team to quickly focus on product development and customer-driven innovation.

Founded in 2023 by Karl Nasr and Sam Arif, Kudwa develops an AI-powered financial intelligence platform designed to automate financial analysis and reporting processes for businesses.

The platform integrates with ERP, accounting, and operational systems, enabling finance teams to generate real-time financial insights and streamline financial planning and analysis (FP&A) workflows. By combining data pipelines, forecasting models, intelligent dashboards, and scenario planning tools, Kudwa aims to reduce reliance on manual spreadsheets and enable finance teams to focus on higher-value strategic work.

The company describes its technology as a “financial brain” for modern finance teams, capable of turning complex financial data into actionable insights for decision-making.

With the new funding, Kudwa plans to accelerate product development, expand strategic integrations, and scale its go-to-market strategy across multiple regions.

“Our focus has been simple: obsess over customers, ship what they ask for, and build a world-class team that can deliver the AI-powered financial brain businesses rely on,” the founders said in a statement.

Why Kudwa Funding Matters to MENA

The funding reflects growing investor interest in AI-powered finance tools, particularly platforms that help companies automate financial analysis and planning. As startups and enterprises across the MENA region scale, the demand for data-driven financial decision-making is increasing.

Platforms like Kudwa could help finance teams move away from spreadsheet-heavy workflows toward automated, real-time financial intelligence, a shift that is becoming critical as businesses manage more complex operations across multiple markets.
