The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) congratulated start-up Yassir on its recent fundraiser.
“The New York Stock Exchange NYSE, the largest stock exchange in the world, congratulated Yassir on his Series B raise, posting it and announcing it on the floor,” Yassir said Tuesday.
On Nov. 7, Yassir announced it had raised $150 million in Series B financing from leading global investors.
Yassir said the investment was led by BOND, one of Silicon Valley’s largest venture capital firms, with participations from Y Combinator, the world’s largest startup accelerator, DN Capital, Dorsal Capital, Quiet Capital and Stanford Alumni Ventures, as well as other existing and strategic investors.
Having raised $193.25 million in the five years since the company’s launch, it is now the highest-valued startup in North Africa and one of the highest-valued companies in Africa and the Middle East. With this latest fundraiser, Yassir plans to expand his reach in the region.
