According to Sympl’s CEO, Mohamed El-Feky, the startup is pleased with the partnership “A15 has been a crucial partner in the early stages of our growth.
Their support in product development initiatives, tech integrations and connections to their startups’ ecosystem have been important in our early success.
We look forward to continuing our partnership with them to drive innovation, provide new solutions for merchants and consumers, and contribute to the transition to a cashless society in Egypt.”
Speaking on the reason behind the investment in Sympl, Karim Beshara, General Partner, A15, said, “At A15, we are committed to partnering with strong founding teams in the very early stages of their ventures, where we can work closely together to unlock value.
We pride ourselves on the close relationships we maintain with the founders and their teams, supporting them from the beginning as part of the A15 family.
We are excited to have backed Sympl from day one and are proud of the early positive signs from their launch. We look forward to continued close collaboration and scaling the business.”
