Funch, the AI-native lunch subscription startup, has raised 500,000 in a pre-seed funding round led by Angelspark, with participation from prominent regional and global investors including Mostafa Kandil Founder of Swvl, Mahesh Murthy, Tushar F., Hamed Mustafa, Rutvik Deepak, and others.
Founded in 2025 by Ahmad Joehnny and Ghada Zanaty, Funch offers a flexible, credit-based lunch subscription for AED 19 per day with no delivery fees. Users can personalise their preferences and receive freshly prepared lunches daily, with the ability to skip, pause, or cancel at any time.
Funch replaces traditional weekly meal plans-which often renew even when users skip meals-with a modern credit system. Subscribers purchase credits to use when needed or enable auto-renewal for seamless top-ups. Once preferences and delivery windows are set, meals are automatically delivered.
