Azerbaijani startup Clopos has attracted 500,000 manats from SABAH.angels

Members of the SABAH.angels business angel club invested 500,000 manats in the Azerbaijani startup Clopos Inc. For the club, this is the fifth investment and the first in a local startup. The deal was led by SABAH.angels CEO Alya Abbaszade.

Clopos was founded by Azerbaijani entrepreneurs in 2018. The company develops a cloud-based cash register program and management system for restaurants, cafes, and other food service establishments. Sales, payments, inventory management, finances, and daily operations are all integrated into a single platform. The service is currently used by more than 4,500 clients in 13 countries. Clopos is headquartered in New York, with its development center located in Baku.

This is not the startup's first deal with investors from the SABAH ecosystem. In June 2025, Clopos raised $800,000 from Caucasus Ventures, Next Business Angels, SABAH.fund, SABAH.angels, and White Hill Capital.

SABAH.angels was founded in 2023. The club invests in early-stage technology companies from Azerbaijan, the United States, Turkey, Georgia, Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. It includes more than 180 business angels, 69 of whom regularly participate in deals. A commission of 11 people selects projects: it evaluates the business model, market potential, competitive advantages, team, and scaling opportunities. Then, selected startups are presented to club members.
