giftdetect· the right gift in minutesUAE-based global mobility startup Multipolitan has raised $2 million in a pre-seed round led by EmergentX, valuing the company at $25 million pre-money (about AED 91.81 million). The money arrives weeks before the planned December 2026 launch of its first consumer application.
Founded in Singapore in 2024 by Nirbhay Handa and Lee Smith, the company builds a platform that merges immigration, visa, travel and personal document management in one place. It targets internationally mobile individuals, entrepreneurs, digital nomads and families.
What the app will do
Users will be able to manage passports and visas, receive alerts when documents are about to expire, and check travel and entry requirements. The app will also track flight updates and monitor how long a person has spent in a country, helping them stay within residency and immigration rules.
Three proprietary systems sit underneath: INREX, which analyses immigration information; FlightIQ, which supplies real-time travel and flight data; and Visa Connect, which supports AI-powered visa management.
Existing business as a base
Multipolitan says revenue from services for private-sector clients has passed $4 million in under two years, and it plans to reuse that operating business and technology infrastructure for the consumer product. The company is headquartered in the UAE and holds an innovation accreditation from Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).
It employs more than 40 people across the UAE, India and Singapore and intends to grow the team. The company has not disclosed how it will allocate the new capital or which markets it plans to enter next, so the December launch will be the first real test of whether its B2B know-how translates into consumer demand.
