Semafor Gulf ‘doubles down’ on growth amid regional conflict, CEO says

DUBAI: Semafor today announced an expansion of its Gulf edition, moving to a daily publishing schedule on weekdays and growing its newsroom and commercial team, ramping up growth efforts amid the Iran conflict. The move builds on an expansion plan first announced in January 2026, following Semafor’s first year of profitability, in which it generated $2 million in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, on revenue of $40 million. It also closed $30 million in new financing, which it said would be used to grow its editorial operations and live events business.
