Wuilt Secures $2 Million Funding to Fuel Website Building for MENA SMBs

Cairo-based Wuilt, a user-friendly platform specializing in website creation, has just secured a significant boost. The company, founded in Egypt, has successfully raised $2 million in funding, paving the way for its expansion and mission to empower small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) with its free website builder. This funding injection allows Wuilt to further refine its platform and extend its reach, offering more SMBs the tools they need to establish a strong online presence, particularly in the rapidly growing digital landscape of Africa and the MENA region.

Bridging the Digital Gap for SMBs

Founded in 2019 by Ahmed Rostom and Mahmoud Metwaly, Wuilt identified a critical gap in the market. Many small businesses and entrepreneurs in the MENA region struggled to establish online platforms, facing challenges like complex website builders, high costs, and a lack of localized solutions. Many existing tools did not adequately cater to Arabic speakers, thus limiting their ability to engage with a broader audience. Wuilt stepped in to address these pain points, developing a smart and accessible platform that offers a straightforward path to building a professional website. In April 2025, Wuilt took a bold step, offering its website builder completely free of charge in Egypt, eliminating monthly subscription fees. This approach has been instrumental in fostering greater digital inclusivity for SMBs in the region.

In conclusion, Wuilt’s recent funding represents a significant step forward in enabling digital transformation for small businesses across MENA. Their commitment to providing an accessible and free website builder, alongside the company’s unique African context, positions Wuilt for continued growth and a positive impact on the region’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
