Profile

Yassir is the flagship Algerian tech success story — founded in 2017 by Algerian-born brothers Noureddine and El Mahdi Yettou, the company raised one of MENA’s largest Series B rounds (~US$150M) in 2022 from Y Combinator, BOND, DN Capital and Avante. From an Algiers HQ it now operates across Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Senegal and beyond. For Algerian founders it is the reference case for product-market fit in Arabic/French-speaking emerging markets, regulator engagement and global venture fundraising.
