Join us for a talk with Hisham Al-Falih, Co-Founder & CEO, Lean Technologies. Lean builds simple, secure APIs to help companies build cutting-edge financial products in the Middle East.

Founded in September 2019 by former Stanford University roommates Hisham and Aditya Sarkar, and ex-Silicon Valley technologist Ashu Gupta, Lean’s platform allows its clients to integrate with their customers’ bank accounts to retrieve relevant account information or initiate instant bank transfers.

Since launching its flagship data and payments API this year, the company has signed on dozens of the Middle-East’s leading financial institutions as clients, connected tens of thousands of customer accounts, and processed hundreds of millions of dollars in transactions.

In February Lean closed a $33m funding round to expand their operations, led by venture capital firm Sequoia Capital India, with participation from existing investors Raed Ventures, Outliers, Shorooq and Jimco.
