Initially, the CEO had sought EGP 15 million in exchange for a 10% equity stake, but he stood firm in his decision to retain greater control of the company.

Prior to the Shark Tank appearance, Renail had already secured a $150,000 funding commitment. The exposure from the program helped boost this figure to $450,000, highlighting its significant impact on the startup’s growth trajectory.

As Renail continues to expand its footprint in the agri-tech sector, the company remains focused on leveraging technology to enhance agricultural efficiency and establish itself as a leading player in the region.
