Key Takeaways
i’SUPPLY’s funding marks a growing trend in the MENA region: the use of Sharia-compliant instruments to support early-stage companies. Revenue-based financing, which ties repayments to a share of company revenue, provides startups with flexible, non-dilutive capital that aligns well with ethical investment principles. The deal also reflects increased appetite for healthtech solutions that address supply inefficiencies in emerging markets. Egypt’s pharmaceutical sector remains fragmented, and platforms like i’SUPPLY aim to bring order and transparency to the last mile of medical delivery. By leveraging data to anticipate demand and streamline procurement, i’SUPPLY positions itself as both a logistics solution and a digital infrastructure layer for pharmacies and distributors. As the company scales, the ability to maintain cash flow while avoiding equity dilution could serve as a blueprint for other startups seeking alternative financing routes in capital-constrained markets.
