NewYork VC Modus Cap partners UAE startup Play:Date
Shamim Kassibawi, Founder & CEO of Play:Date, said, “The opportunity to work with Modus Capital poses exciting expansion opportunities for Play:Date. We decided to work with them as they are not your typical venture capitalist’s that are solely focused on investing, instead they actively assist entrepreneurs by supporting with strategies and highgrowth prospects. Additionally, we required a firm that had presence not only in the region but also in the US, as it is currently our biggest market outside the UAE.”
Play: The date allows parents to engage with each other based on the interests and personalities of their children, further expanding a parent’s network within the community. Moreover, giving back to the community is a key component of Play: Date’s mission, therefore there is a strong focus on providing families with discount deals, product seeding, and complimentary events.
The app features various vouchers and offers, exclusive to Play: Date members, giving brands access to a direct channel to connect with their customer base for continued exposure and brand recognition. The app also hosts regular playdate tours at various play areas, and virtually during Covid-19.
