Dubai – Sharikat Mubasher: UAE–based fintech startup Metric raised new funding to accelerate the growth of its AI-driven platform designed to help small and medium-sized enterprises manage their finances with real-time intelligence.

According to a recent press release, the round was led by A-typical Ventures with participation from 500 Global, Hub71, i2i Ventures, Plus VC, Epic Angels, Oqal Angels, Accelerate Prosperity, and other regional investors.

At the core of Metric’s offering is Max, described as the world’s first Chief Financial AI. Acting as a conversational co-pilot, Max analyzes financial data, delivers actionable insights, and guides business owners with data-driven recommendations. Built on $4.2 billion in proprietary transactional data, the tool helps companies track spending, forecast performance, and identify growth opportunities.

Founded in 2022 by Meenah Tariq, Omar Parvez Khan, and CTO Dr. Habiba, Metric has already gained traction, serving more than 130,000 businesses across 190 countries in both English and Arabic. Its AI marketplace also connects SMEs to financing and other financial services.

With the new funding, Metric plans to accelerate product development, expand adoption of Max, and scale pilots that integrate banking and financing services for small business owners across the GCC and beyond.
