Arabic speakers are the most underserved online, with limited access to quality Arabic content compared to platforms supporting other languages. Mawdoo3's mission is to upend that reality by building on its position as the most visited daily Arabic website in the world. Mawdoo's strength relies on its 45 million monthly unique users and its 6,000 experts who produce and contribute media to the site on a range of topics. The adoption of new technologies and artificial intelligence applications as part of its core business has allowed Mawdoo3 to scale its content library and mobile applications. The company also recently launched a beta of the most comprehensive Arabic NLP toolkit for developers (ai.mawdoo3.com), designed to serve as the building blocks of 'Salma', an Arabic version of Siri and Alexa. In 2018, Mawdoo3 closed a USD 13.5 million Series B round led by UK-based fund Kingsway with participation from the US-based fund Endure Capital.
