Bahrain's Lola secures $3 million to scale cake customisation platform

Bahrain-born cake customisation platform Lola has secured a fresh $3 million in seed funding, signalling that investor appetite for consumer foodtech in the Gulf is far from cooling off. The round was led by Vision Ventures, the same Saudi-based firm that backed Lola's earlier raise, with new participation from Aljazira Capital, Seedra Ventures, and returning supporter Plus VC. A handful of additional investors also joined, although their identities were not disclosed. The cash injection comes just over a year after the startup closed a $1.3 million pre-seed round in February 2025, which suggests momentum has been building faster than founder Othman Janahi originally anticipated.
