Fifty Degrees is live: every move in MENA tech, Monday to Thursday at 07:00 GST

DUBAI — Fifty Degrees is the temperature of MENA tech. Every funding round, fund, acquisition and people move in the region, dated, sourced and given a heat reading from 10° to 50°, in a morning edition that lands Monday to Thursday at 07:00 Gulf time and reads in four minutes. Thursday is the Weekly Temperature. The first Sunday of the month is the Heat Index.

The site is built on records, not rewrites. Each record in the Deal Tracker carries a company, a stage, a country, an announcement date, a source credited by name and a heat reading computed by a published rubric. Undisclosed stays undisclosed and is never estimated. Blended rounds are decomposed into equity and debt when the split is reported, and flagged when it is not. The tracker is free, filterable, and mirrored as JSON for anyone who wants to build on it.

The editions in the archive today are labelled samples. They are composed from real, sourced records to show the format, and they were not sent to anyone. The first real edition lands when the list does.

The house voice is simple. The city comes first. The number is the hero. We predict rather than judge: will it work, who wins, what it prices in. We report policy and regulation as moves, never as party politics. Wamda, AGBI, Zawya and company releases are sources, credited on every record.

To send a move, write to desk@fifty.degree with the company, the amount, the stage, the lead and the source. Corrections go to the same address and are made in place, with the change noted on the story. Partners take a category, not an ad slot; the terms are on the Advertise page.
