What believers are saying
- The recent $150 million Series B funding round indicates strong investor confidence and provides ample resources for expansion and innovation.
- Yassir's multi-service platform can drive higher user engagement and retention by offering a one-stop-shop for various needs.
- Participation in Y Combinator's accelerator program adds a layer of prestige and access to a vast network of resources and mentorship.
What critics are saying

- Yassir positions itself as a super app, offering a diverse range of services including ride-hailing, food and grocery delivery, and payments, unlike competitors who may focus on a single vertical.
- The company's strong backing from prominent investors like BOND, DN Capital, and Y Combinator provides it with significant financial leverage and credibility in the market.
