A UAE-based neighborhood app, Hayi, has raised $325,000 in its latest funding seed round to help accelerate its growth across the country, Wamda reported. Founded in 2020, the community-based startup digitizes UAE neighborhoods by connecting residents, local businesses, and community managers. Rene Morgan, the company’s chief operations officer, said: “The fundraising round will really help us develop the product further for all end-users and create an exclusive space for them to connect, without irrelevant noise from outside their community.” The funding was led by Sarya Holdings and Falak Startups.
