Saudi Arabia-based Arib just raised $23.5 million led by Merak Capital, in a round that combined equity with Shariah-compliant Murabaha financing – a structure that mirrors the product itself. The platform connects users with banks and licensed lenders through a single digital interface, built around Islamic financing principles from the ground up rather than retrofitted with a compliance layer. The sheer scale of that capital, combined with how underserved it is, creates a remarkable market opportunity. There are 400 million Muslim consumers in MENA alone. The global Islamic finance industry is valued at over $2 trillion. Shariah-compliant fintech is projected…

For more than 250 years, stories from early explorers described crocodiles as a common sight along the shores of the Seychelles. But after permanent settlers arrived in 1770, the island population disappeared rapidly. Within about 50 years, the crocodiles had been completely exterminated. Now, scientists have finally uncovered the true identity of these vanished reptiles through a new genetic analysis. The study found that the Seychelles crocodiles were not a separate species, as some once suspected. Instead, they were the westernmost known population of the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), the world’s largest living reptile and one of its most capable…

Every year I read through thousands of Startup Battlefield applications. And every year, I see the same pattern: The founders who belong on this stage are often the ones who almost didn’t apply. They think they’re too early. They think they need more traction. They think the program is for companies further along than they are. So here’s what we’re actually looking for and how to make sure your application reflects it. The deadline to be considered was May 27, but with the competition heating up and the applications continuing to come in, we’ve extended it to June 8. You…

Cloud infrastructure has long been designed around humans who search, click, scroll, and stream in a steady and predictable fashion. AI agents behave differently. They can unleash a swell of activity, spinning up multiple sub-agents that query hundreds of databases, search documents, and call APIs in seconds and then disappear as quickly as they arrived.  Under that premise, Amazon is redesigning a core piece of its cloud infrastructure. On Thursday, AWS launched its next generation of OpenSearch Serverless, a fully managed search and vector database — essentially a system for storing and retrieving information at scale — that’s designed specifically…
