The Cloud is a global tech platform which develops and implements an Airbnb-like approach on the foodtech market transforming restaurants into cloud kitchens. It is supported by Hub71, Abu Dhabi's global tech ecosystem.

History

The Cloud was established in 2019 by Kamil Rogalinski and George Karam. Between November 2019 and June 2020, The Cloud successfully raised pre-seed funding from Singapore-based Elēkrŏn Ventures. In November 2020, a successful seed round was raised from Middle East Venture Partners. In December 2021, The Cloud raised another $10 million.

In April 2022, The Cloud partnered with E-Tips, a cashless tipping and review platform, to create a new way for customers to give back during the Holy month of Ramadan. The new «Tip The Chef» campaign covers delivery-only restaurants across major cities like Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The campaign allows customers to tip not only delivery drivers but also chefs and kitchen staff. The company is present in the UAE, Belgium, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Romania, the US, KSA, and the UK.
