Hambro Perks Spring Studios is a venture builder backed by Al Waha Fund of Funds and the global investment firm Hambro Perks.

 

Daleel’s platform is focused on helping everyday individuals find the best financial products for themselves and help banks and financial institutions leverage deep insights to acquire customers more effectively. 

 

Financial services

By creating a seamless and connected financial journey, Daleel is revolutionising the landscape of financial services in the region, empowering both consumers and financial institutions alike to make informed decisions and achieve financial success.

 

The company's vision, led by its CEO - PK Shrivastava, COO - Ridaa Shah, and CCO - Dania Alshowaikh, is to narrow the gap between consumers and financial institutions, aiming to actualise personalised financial products in the region. Daleel, PK's second venture in the region and fourth in fintech, builds upon the co-founders' experience in scaling Tarabut as the largest open banking platform in Mena. With this background, Daleel is poised to transform customer acquisition for financial institutions and empower consumers in their financial choices across the region.
