Dawraty Raises $2 Million Seed Funding at $10M Valuation to Expand Across the Region

Dawraty plans to use the new funding to expand its business across the region. The company focuses on healthcare education, professional certifications, and exam preparation.

The funding round values Dawraty at around $10 million. The round is still open, meaning other investors can also join before it officially closes.

Dawraty expects to complete the final funding close by the end of November 2026. QDB decided to invest after reviewing the company through its 2026 Accelerator Program and completing a due diligence process.

Founded by Dr Ryan Dougherty and Hamad AlThunayan, Dawraty operates a bilingual, AI-powered learning platform that enables institutions to deliver and track accredited education and professional training in Arabic and English.

Rather than focusing primarily on direct-to-consumer learning, Dawraty works with universities, medical colleges, professional training academies, hospital groups, school networks and government training bodies. The company enters new markets through institutional partnerships and reseller agreements.

Dawraty currently operates across Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Jordan. Its institutional partners include Kuwait University, the University of Bahrain, Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance, Belvedere Group and Johns Hopkins for continuing medical education.

The startup is also expanding its presence in Qatar, where it recently signed a master partnership and reseller agreement with the Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA). The agreement represents Dawraty's first contracted institutional revenue in Qatar and will make its platform available to students and professionals in the country's business sector.

The new funding will support Dawraty's expansion across its existing and new markets as it scales its bilingual learning infrastructure and broadens its offering across healthcare and other areas of professional education.
