The round was co-led by Dubai-based Global Ventures and existing investor Reefknot Investments. Additional investors include Sumitomo Equity Ventures, Antler Elevate, Febe Ventures and JG Summit. Locad's latest funding will propel its global expansion, starting with key markets in the GCC, particularly the UAE and Saudi Arabia, in Q4 2024. The company is positioning itself to support consumer brands in scaling their operations through its cloud-based supply chain-as-a-service platform.
