Alaan

Alaan is a Dubai-based finance platform that issues multi-currency corporate cards and automates expense reporting, supplier payments, invoice processing and accounting reconciliation for companies in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Its AI reads receipts and invoices, flags policy breaches and pushes clean data into accounting and ERP systems, while employees capture receipts from a mobile app. Founded in 2021 and part of Y Combinator's Winter 2023 batch, Alaan says more than 3,000 businesses use it, and it raised a $48 million Series A led by Peak XV Partners in August 2025.
