Ebril-based on-demand delivery startup Lezzoo has raised a seven-figure (USD) seed round, it told MENAbytes today. The round which is the largest for an Iraqi startup was led by New York & Baghdad-based frontier market investment firm Northern Gulf Partners and California-based Pay It Forward Venture Capital. Some angels from the United States and Latin America also took part in the round.

The funding announcement comes almost a year after Lezzoo graduated from Y Combinator. It was (and still is) the first (and only) Y Combinator-backed startup of Iraq.
