UAE-based surplus food marketplace Peekabox has raised an oversubscribed $1.5 million seed round to scale its operations in the UAE.
Backers include a network of regional operators and advisors, with a board chaired by Sameer Al Ansari.
Founded in 2025 by Hasan and Omair Sarwar, the platform enables F&B and grocery businesses to sell surplus food at 50–70% discounts.
The funding will support UAE go-to-market expansion, with plans to scale across the GCC, starting with Saudi Arabia.
