## About

Based in Cairo, Egypt, and founded in 2019 by founder Alaa Afifi Kamal (CEO), Bekia provides a platform for individuals and businesses to exchange recyclable materials for monetary rewards or other benefits. In September 2026, Bekia Inc raised USD 765,000 in seed funding led by Madica Ventures, with participation from Jambaar Capital and Catalyst Fund.

Bekia's mobile application serves as the primary interface for users to engage with its services. The app allows users to create accounts, input personal data for communication purposes, and accumulate points by separating and estimating the amount of recyclable waste they possess. Once a request is submitted, Bekia dispatches representatives to collect the waste directly from users' locations without additional charges. The collected waste is then processed and sold to recycling facilities, contributing to the circular economy. Through its mobile application, users can schedule pickups for sorted waste. The company aims to facilitate waste recycling by making the process accessible to households, restaurants, cafés, and other businesses. 

The company plans to use the funding to support its platform that compensates households and businesses for recyclable waste.
