Growdash Closes AED 6.8 Million Funding Round to Boost Restaurant Growth Through Digital Solutions
Growdash, a Dubai-based SaaS platform designed to empower restaurant marketing and operational teams, has secured $1.8 million in a Seed funding round. This funding round was led by Oryx Fund, a MENA-focused investment fund from Hambro Perks, and Oraseya Capital, the venture capital arm of Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ).
Founded in 2022 by former Talabat employees Sean Trevaskis and Enver Sorkun, Growdash enables restaurants to develop, execute, and manage profitable growth strategies across digital sales channels. The platform has quickly become the leading restaurant analytics and business intelligence technology in the region, working with over 300 restaurant brands across 4000 locations in the UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar.
Accelerating Expansion into Saudi Arabia
Growdash plans to utilize the new funding to fast-track its expansion plans into Saudi Arabia later this year. The company aims to seize the first-mover opportunity in Central Eastern Europe as well.
CEO Sean Trevaskis commented, “We are thrilled to have closed our Seed round and are grateful to our dedicated team and forward-thinking customers who demand access to top-tier data analytics and digital growth strategies.”
Building Innovative Technology for Restaurants
Chief Experience Officer (CXO) Enver Sorkun stated, “Our goal is to build a best-in-class tech stack that enables restaurants to operate their digital growth strategies autonomously. Our seed financing will accelerate our product roadmap, enhance machine learning capabilities, and introduce new features aligned with our methodology of insight, decision, and action.”

Ali Qaiser, General Partner at Oryx Fund and Hambro Perks, said, “Growdash is revolutionizing the competitive F&B sector by integrating digital data points from food aggregators and their broader digital presence into a single business intelligence platform. We are excited about Growdash’s growth potential and look forward to supporting their scaling efforts.”
Julien Plouzeau, Senior Partner at Oraseya Capital, added, “Growdash’s cutting-edge software is exactly the type of innovation we aim to support. Sean and Enver’s deep understanding of the F&B industry’s challenges and their scalable tech infrastructure position them for significant success.”
