Moroccan LegalTech Charikaty Closes Pre-Seed Round at €3M Valuation to Fuel MENA Expansion
Backed by Gulf investors and regional syndicates, the Casablanca-based digital incorporation platform targets broader compliance and accounting rollouts across Egypt and the GCC.
CASABLANCA — Moroccan legaltech and regulatory compliance startup Charikaty has officially closed its pre-seed funding round at a valuation of €3 million (approximately MAD 32.6 million / $3.4 million).
The financing round attracted strategic regional backing, including Dubai-based Red Tape Ventures, Faris Al-Obaid, and Saudi footballer Faris Abdi, alongside a syndicate of private investors.
Founded by Amr Mouaqit and Driss Sijelmassi, Charikaty has built its initial market traction by modernizing corporate formation in Morocco. The platform automates end-to-end business administration, enabling founders to incorporate entities such as SARLs and SAS companies fully online with fixed pricing, electronic signatures, and expedited digital filing.
With domestic momentum bolstered by Morocco’s ongoing digital public service initiatives under the Maroc Digital 2030 strategy, Charikaty is setting its sights on international expansion.
The startup plans to use its new capital and the strategic networks of its Gulf-based backers to introduce its legaltech and accounting infrastructure into Egypt and the wider Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) market, adapting its compliance architecture to more complex regulatory jurisdictions.
