On September 7, 2020, Ibtikar Fund and the Innovative Startups and SMEs Fund (ISSF) announced their newest investment in 360Moms, a website and soon to be released mobile application offering Arabic/English-language articles, videos, and webinars on all-things-parenting in the Middle East.
“360Moms fills a critical gap in the Middle Eastern digital content market by becoming the first and only website in the region to offer content from a trusted, expert perspective on parenting, pregnancy, parent-child mental health and nutrition, special-needs children and family relationships,” explained Dina Abdul Majeed, Founder and CEO of 360Moms. Currently, only 1.5% of the online educational content is in Arabic and the remaining content often ignores cultural elements that shape Arab households.
Since their launch in Jordan, 360Moms has been able to garner a large online following, becoming a trusted source for parents seeking guidance on issues concerning themselves and their children’s physical and mental well-being, as well as empowering parents by offering them a platform to share their personal stories through blogging and Instagram vlogging.
This investment will support the company’s expansion plans beyond Jordan and into the regional and global markets. The investment money will also go towards finalizing key features in the 360Moms soon-to-be-launched bilingual mobile application, which will serve as the first and only smart mobile app to support parents with personalized, instant answers about their children’s mental and physical health.
