Lunch:on recently announced the closing of Series A round of $3 million. MENA Angel Investor is pleased to be supporting this promising company’s growth. MENA Angel Investor, along with other well-known investors in the Middle East like Wamda and Dubai Angel Investors have taken part in this round.

Lunch:on was co-founded by Mohammed Al Zaben and Dana Baki. The company is a Dubai-based startup and is partnering with popular local restaurants to offer corporates curated meals at discounted prices and free delivery.

Lunch:on utilizes technology to simplify ordering in 3 easy steps. Each weekday, a different restaurant offers three menu options: meat, vegetarian and a healthy option. Every morning at a set time, a curated menu is sent to customers via text or email. Users reply with their choice and their food is delivered no later than 1 pm.

According to Al Zaben, Lunch:on stands out in its simplicity of its “message to order” platform. Though there’s a high competition for food delivery services provided in the region, the company has seen dynamic growth and has plans to expand to Saudi Arabia and other markets. The company already boarded several major multinationals and regional companies like GE, Leo Burnett, OSN, Dell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, PwC, Lenovo, and Coca-Cola.

MENA Angel Investor is excited to be supporting Lunch:on as it begins to scale its services across Dubai and eventually the wider Middle East region. This investment is aligned with our mission to find inspirational founders of technology driven businesses with significant growth potential across the MENA region and our vision in the benefits of gender diversity and female entrepreneurship in the workplace.
