Multipolitan raises $2M pre-seed at $25M valuation for mobility app

Multipolitan, a travel and global mobility technology company headquartered in the UAE, has raised $2 million in pre-seed funding. EmergentX led the round, which valued the company at $25 million pre-money, or AED 91.81 million.

Nirbhay Handa and Lee Smith founded the company in Singapore in 2024. Its platform combines immigration, visa, travel and personal document management in one place, built for individuals and families who move between countries and have to keep track of passports, permits and residency timelines at the same time.

The consumer application is scheduled to launch in December 2026. According to the company's plans, users will be able to manage passports and visas, receive alerts before documents expire, check travel and entry requirements, follow flight updates and monitor residency periods to stay compliant with immigration rules.

Three products sit underneath. INREX analyzes immigration information. FlightIQ supplies real-time travel and flight data. Visa Connect handles visa management with AI assistance.

Multipolitan said revenue from private-sector clients passed $4 million in less than two years. The company intends to draw on that operating record and its existing technology infrastructure to build the consumer side of the business, rather than starting from a blank page.

The consumer platform is aimed at internationally mobile individuals, entrepreneurs, digital nomads and families. Multipolitan employs more than 40 people across the UAE, India and Singapore and plans to add to the team. It also holds an innovation accreditation from Abu Dhabi Global Market.

The company has not disclosed how the new capital will be allocated, nor has it named specific markets for geographic expansion.

Cross-border paperwork is a recurring cost for people whose lives span several jurisdictions, and the penalties for a lapsed permit or a miscalculated residency window are administrative rather than trivial. Building a consumer product on top of an existing revenue-generating service business gives Multipolitan a way to test those workflows with paying clients before opening them to individuals.
