SehaTech, an Egyptian InsurTech startup reimagining how health insurance operates, has raised $1.1 million in seed funding to expand its AI-driven claims and approval platform across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
The round was led by Ingressive Capital, with participation from Plus VC, A15, and Beltone Venture Capital—a strong signal that investors are betting on Egypt’s ability to deliver the next wave of digital health infrastructure.
Founded in 2022 by Mohamed Elshabrawy, Mostafa Tarek, and Omar Shawky, SehaTech is building a new operational backbone for health insurers and providers—automating what was once slow, paper-heavy, and prone to error.
Fixing the Paper Problem in Healthcare
Healthcare in emerging markets has long suffered from administrative friction: delayed claims, lost approvals, and inflated costs.
SehaTech’s platform automates these bottlenecks using AI-based decision engines and workflow orchestration, streamlining communication between insurers and healthcare providers.
“We see massive inefficiencies in how health insurance operates in emerging markets,” said Elshabrawy, SehaTech’s CEO. “Our goal is to bring transparency, speed, and trust through intelligent automation.”
By digitizing medical approvals and claims processing, the platform reduces turnaround time from days to minutes, while providing audit-ready transparency that insurers can trust.
From Cairo to MENA: Scaling Access Through Smart Infrastructure
Armed with fresh capital, SehaTech plans to deepen its presence in Egypt and expand into Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Morocco—markets where fragmented healthcare systems and low insurance penetration create strong demand for automation.
The startup will also invest in advanced AI fraud detection models, predictive analytics, and integration with major hospital networks.
The company’s ultimate goal: build a frictionless digital layer connecting patients, providers, and payersacross the region.
A New Model for Trust in Insurance
In markets where trust in insurers remains low, SehaTech is reframing the conversation.
By automating verification and claims transparency, it’s not just improving efficiency—it’s restoring confidence in the health insurance process itself.
For policyholders, this means faster service and fewer disputes. For insurers, it’s reduced fraud and cleaner data pipelines. And for healthcare providers, it’s less administrative load and more focus on patient care.
Why SehaTech’s Success Matters Beyond Egypt
SehaTech’s journey mirrors a broader trend across the MENA region: startups moving from building consumer apps to modernizing the infrastructure of everyday systems—finance, education, and now, healthcare.
As governments push for universal healthcare coverage and digital transformation, platforms like SehaTech represent a foundational layer—turning policy ambition into practical systems powered by automation and intelligence.
Egypt’s healthtech rise also reinforces the country’s position as a regional hub for scalable innovation, with founders who combine local insight with globally relevant solutions.
Editor’s Note — From the TechFront MENA Team
At TechFront MENA, we explore the innovators reshaping the region’s technological backbone—where AI isn’t just a buzzword, but a bridge to real-world access.
SehaTech’s $1.1 million seed round is a case study in this shift. What began as an attempt to digitize paperwork is fast becoming an example of how data intelligence can democratize essential services.
Egypt’s healthtech ecosystem is maturing quietly but significantly—proof that MENA’s next transformation won’t only come from mega-projects or AI superclusters, but from startups turning manual systems into intelligent networks.
The story of SehaTech isn’t just about automation—it’s about inclusion. It’s the infrastructure beneath the promise of better care.
