Mumerz, an Egypt-based platform for parent and child needs has raised $1.2 million in a pre-seed round led by investment firm Disruptech.
Mumerz.com is a parent & child community platform and a one-stop online shop for all parent and child needs. The largest bilingual community and e-commerce platform in Egypt offers every parent and child their needs starting from pregnancy up to the age of 12.
The Egypt-based startup also aims to fill the gap in information, advisory, and products that parents and children need. The platform offers a blog that includes articles on a large variety of issues related to pregnancy, childbirth, and Mum & childcare, integrated with the largest parent and child e-commerce platform in Egypt.
Due to the huge motherhood gap in Egypt’s online market and the time consumed by general merchandisers to deliver, customers at Mumerz.com are promised next-day delivery. With competitive market prices, parents enjoy a seamless experience where an advisory team helps them choose the perfect products for their children.
Co-founded by Amir Shenouda, and Rahet Bally’s founder, Nadia Gamal El Din, the startup will utilize its newly acquired funds to further support its online platform with diversified offering and content as well as expand its market share in Egypt and Beyond
“We believe that the mother, baby, and child online vertical is underserved in Egypt,” according to Amir Shenouda, Founder and Managing Partner at mumerz.com. The key to that is in delivering an optimal customer experience with a wide range of mother-baby and child products at affordable prices.”
The online platform has a wide range of information, advisory support, and products. The parent and child e-commerce platform contains an immense range of products, starting from diapers, baby gear, toys, apparel, to skin products and vitamins, in addition to free gift wrapping, customized cards, and gift listings. In addition to products, Mumerz.com offers value-adding content for moms on its blog and on Mums Mag, managed by Rahet Bally, with direct links to products on the e-commerce platform.
“Mumerz.com acts as a natural continuation to Rahet Bally’s motherhood support services and allows us to serve millions of our moms who already trust us, daily consume our content, use our discount services & come to our fitness facilities. Mumerz.com also capitalizes on Rahet Bally’s massive insights on exactly what moms need as well as a seasoned advisory team that recommend what’s the best product fit for each mom’s needs based on Rahet Bally’s reviews across all product categories,” commented Nadia Gamal El Din, Founder at Mumerz.com and Rahet Bally.
