The company, which is the regionally contextualized version of Clearco and Wayflyer, has successfully completed a significant fundraise of $1.2 million, led by A15, a leading MENA venture capital firm.

FlapKap's unique selling point is its revenue-based flexible payment terms on advertising spend. This feature ensures sustainable growth without cash constraints for online businesses.
