Kuwait - Sharikat Mubasher: Kuwait-based education technology startup Dawraty raised a $2 million seed funding round to support its regional expansion across healthcare education, professional certification, and exam preparation, with its final close expected at the end of November 2026.

Dawraty secured an investment from Qatar Development Bank (QDB) as part of the round after conducting due diligence through its 2026 Accelerator Program, the Kuwaiti startup revealed in a statement yesterday.

Dawraty will use the new funding to fuel its expansions in existing and new markets, scale its bilingual learning infrastructure, and broaden its offering across healthcare and other professional education areas.

Founded by Ryan Dougherty and Hamad AlThunayan, Dawraty operates a bilingual, AI-powered learning platform that enables institutions to deliver and track accredited education and professional training in Arabic and English.

It partners with universities, medical colleges, professional training academies, hospital groups, school networks, and government training bodies, rather than focusing primarily on direct-to-consumer learning.
