Global tech company Mitgo has launched a new Publisher Investments Program, an alternative financing service that will provide investment opportunities for projects in the MENA market. Initial capital for the fund is $20 million, with the program’s scope expanding as applications are received.

Mitgo’s service will be aimed primarily at the FinTech, smart shopping, generative AI, MarTech, and HRTech sectors. The program will help publishers solve financing gaps and cash flow issues that stand in the way of expansion.

Applicants for funding must earn (or plan to earn) more than 50% of their revenue from cost-per-lead, cost-per-click, cost-per-sale, and other performance-based methods. They also need to be working with Mitgo businesses Admitad and Takeads or with another affiliate network. Companies that do not meet these criteria may still be eligible for funding if they can demonstrate a readiness to earn using the listed advertising models.

Successful candidates will be eligible for $50,000 to $500,000 in funds. In addition, companies will also gain access to the complete Mitgo ecosystem, along with a dedicated strategic manager.

The MENA region will be a key focus for the Publisher Investment scheme, with Mitgo expecting at least 10% of all investments to be made in local projects.

“Their success is our success, which is why we’ll not only provide financial support but also allocate time and resources into mentoring and coaching, as well as giving access to an extensive network of digital advertising contacts,” said Alexander Bachmann, Mitgo CEO & Founder.

Since the announcement of its Publisher Investments program in June, Mitgo has received 100+ applications and continues actively inviting MENA publishers to submit proposals.
