The support comes from several leading investors, including Google, Y Combinator, Wamda Capital, Replit, Souq.com, Intersect, and esteemed individual investors such as Fadi Ghandour, Amjad Masad, Samih Toukan, and Paul Graham.
With this support, Jusoor Labs will be able to further its mission of delivering interactive educational services in Palestine, working towards its goal of reaching over 100 million students.

This funding represents an important addition to these accomplishments.
Currently, Jusoor Labs serves around 50,000 users and collaborates with 50 private schools through 240 labs and 3D scientific content compatible with any science curriculum in Arab countries. The content is available in both Arabic and English and is accessible to all students, including those with disabilities. The company is also developing new AI-driven updates to meet the needs of teachers and students effectively.
Jusoor Labs aims to increase its value to €100 million, with its current market value standing at €5 million. Over the next five years, the company plans to double its user base to 10 million, partner with 15,000 educational institutions, increase the number of labs to 500, and expand its geographical presence to 10 countries across the Middle East and North Africa.
