About

Middle East opportunities, realized.

Meor is an AI-native marketplace for buying and selling digital businesses in the Middle East and North Africa: domains, starter sites, and established online businesses. Verified data instead of seller claims, AI-accelerated diligence instead of weeks of back-and-forth, and a secure transaction from offer to payout.

The gap

Not an empty category

This space already has competitors; the closest already does AI valuation and escrow. None has solved depth, a badge that disclaims responsibility for its own numbers, or liquidity: plenty of listings against very few completed deals.

The bet

Diligence is the bottleneck

Buyers are not short of listings. What stalls a deal is the weeks spent establishing whether the numbers are real, a problem connected data and a risk report can shorten.

Verification, not assertion

A seller connects Stripe, Shopify, Analytics or a registrar; figures come from source. Three tiers, visibly different, unverified ranked last.

Risk stated up front

Customer concentration, single-channel traffic, churn spikes, key-person dependency, AI-exposure. The report says what a buyer would find anyway, earlier.

Privacy that actually holds

A confidential listing's name and financials are not hidden with a CSS rule. They are not sent to the browser until the seller approves that buyer.

Arabic as a first language

Arabic and English at feature parity, RTL-native rather than a translation layer bolted on at the end.

Deliberately not

What we don't do

Some of these are regulatory, some are judgement. All are choices, not gaps we intend to fill later.

We never hold your money

Meor is not a money transmitter and does not operate its own escrow. Every payment routes through a licensed third party.

We don't automate legal transfers

Share transfers and cap-table changes go to human legal review.

We don't oversell the valuation

The AI valuation is an estimate, built on global digital-asset multiples since Meor has not closed enough MENA deals yet. We show the confidence level rather than rounding it up.

We're not a listings board

A board posts an asset and leaves both sides to it. The bottleneck in these deals is diligence and trust, not discovery, so the product is a guided transaction.

Where we are

Early, and saying so

Meor is at the start. The first sellers are people we know, including at least one confidential listing. The full system is live from day one rather than phased.

Valuation ranges lean on global comparables rather than a deep history of closed MENA deals. That will change as deals close here, and the confidence indicator will move with it.
