X by Unifonic, backed by Unifonic, has co-led a $7 million funding round for Open CX
alongside Y Combinator, one of the world’s most prominent venture capital firms. This

strategic investment underscores the growing momentum of AI startup funding in the
MENA region and demonstrates strong confidence in Open CX’s vision and market

trajectory.

The investment marks a significant milestone for AI startup funding in the Middle East
and North Africa, as organizations increasingly adopt intelligent, automated, and

scalable engagement models. Open CX, an AI-native, all-in-one agentic customer
experience platform, is already used in production by major enterprise companies

including MoneyGram, Print.com, Mollie.com, Viva.com, More.com,

Orderchamp.com, and OneCarNow.com.
