HeyBreez has raised $2.5 million in an oversubscribed seed funding round led by Lunara Partners, with participation from Jabbar Group, DASH Ventures, and a number of strategic founders and angel investors. The company plans to use the funding to strengthen its platform infrastructure, accelerate product development, expand its team, and support sales growth in the Middle East, the Americas, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.
HeyBreez was founded in 2025 by Karim Malhas. Its headquarters are in the U.S. state of Delaware, with offices in Amman and Dubai. The company focuses on what it describes as the operating layer for enterprise voice AI, rather than simply providing a model capable of conducting a voice conversation.
From conversation to call operations management
The platform enables enterprises to deploy and manage voice agents that handle phone calls, retries, callbacks, follow-ups, branching conversation flows, integrations, and other call-related workflows. According to the company, this approach aims to connect the voice agent to an end-to-end business process while maintaining low latency and the ability to handle a large number of calls.
HeyBreez says its platform processes more than one million calls per month, while some campaigns managed by its customers reach 10,000 calls per day. The company serves four main types of customers: enterprises that receive dedicated support; agencies and service resellers that build solutions on top of the platform; developers and small businesses through self-service plans; and AI companies that integrate the technology into their products.
Why does this funding matter?
The round comes as voice AI applications expand across sectors that rely on phone-based communication, such as banking, healthcare, logistics, hospitality, and customer experience. According to the company’s presentation, the challenge is not limited to the system’s ability to understand, generate, or translate speech, but also includes managing what happens before and after the call and connecting it to the enterprise’s systems.
The Middle East and North Africa serve as a commercial starting point for HeyBreez, with a focus on Arabic-language voice automation, sovereign cloud computing requirements, and data residency in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. The platform also operates in Europe, the United States, and Latin America, and the company says it is developing multilingual voice infrastructure that can be used across different markets.
Expansion and partnerships
Arabic.ai and Xaia serve as solution-integration and resale partners, offering HeyBreez services to their enterprise customers in the region. The company expects to add further partnerships to enter new markets and sectors.
The round is the company’s second announced funding round during 2026. In January, it raised $1.3 million in a pre-seed round led by Wamda Capital, with participation from DASH Ventures and strategic angel investors. Karim Malhas, founder and CEO, said the new funding would be directed toward expanding access to the teams that need the company’s services, in light of its current operational scale and upcoming growth plans.
