Dubai based visual content SaaS platform, www.flashy.ae, the first sophisticated AI-powered content solution tailor-made for brands across MENA, has secured pre-seed funding with the support of regional and global backers, alongside a significant investment by the Ukrainian VC fund TA Ventures, as the firm’s first investment into the Middle East.

Founded in Dubai in July 2021 by Co-Founders Aidan Christofferson, with a background in finance and commodity trading, and Jacopo Trinca, an e-commerce veteran across Lazada and Amazon MENA, Flashy was created after recognising the growing demand for the provision of digital content at scale for brands and businesses looking for quality imagery alongside pro editing and a fast turnaround.

The $400,000 pre-seed round will enable Flashy to expand the current team structure as it launches a new seed round raise of $2M, just 7 months after the start-up was incorporated, alongside continued demand and growth for the platform services across the region.
