A second route for surplus stock

The marketplace sells branded groceries and everyday goods approaching their best-before date, with the date displayed before purchase. Suppliers recover value from inventory that would otherwise be harder to sell, while shoppers buy the same products at a discount.

Building fulfilment capacity

Sheikh Ahmed bin Mana bin Khalifa Saeed Al Maktoum led the $550,000 pre-seed round. ThrowMeNot will expand its team and scale delivery and fulfilment across the UAE, supporting the operational side of its surplus-stock marketplace.

Where the funding goes
