Arcab, a technology-enabled bus aggregator, has raised an undisclosed amount in its Seed round led by We Founder Circle.

The Dubai-based startup Arcab allows fleet owners to make more money by increasing the utilization of their vehicles. The company works with 40-plus operators including Europcar, Avis and Dubai Taxi corporation with over 3,000-plus buses in its supply pool, said a statement.

The funds will be utilized to build, maintain and scale its technology infrastructure that facilitates a multi-sided marketplace. It will also be used to create a sales and marketing engine to fuel expansion in the region.

"Arcab has come up with a unique business model, executing a fine technology infrastructure. They have identified some really good markets for expansion that hold great potential.
