Through a combination of debt and equity financing, AlGooru, the first licensed private tutoring platform in Saudi Arabia, has successfully raised $4 million in pre-Series A funding. Constructor Capital led the round, with Hub71, angel investors, and family offices joining in.
Building on AlGooru’s previous $1.8 million seed round, this most recent investment puts the business in a strong position to maintain its dominance in the Saudi tutoring market. Through strategic partnerships that will be revealed in 2025, the money will be used to advance AlGooru’s AI-driven technologies, grow its business in the Kingdom (with an emphasis on offline tutoring), and enter new verticals. AlGooru has the potential to revolutionize the tutoring industry in Saudi Arabia and beyond by expanding its subject offerings and improving its technologically advanced platform.
This most recent funding demonstrates AlGooru’s consistent growth trajectory since its founding in 2021. AlGooru’s platform provides students of all ages and educational levels with modernized, safe, and convenient tutoring in 20 core subjects, such as science, math, language development, and foundational skills.
“The continued support from our investors is a testament to the impact AlGooru is making in transforming tutoring in Saudi Arabia,” said Khalid Abou Kassem, Founder and CEO of AlGooru. “We are excited to deepen our reach in the region, utilising this funding to build a platform that makes high-quality education accessible, safe, and impactful,” added Omer Awad, co-founder and COO of AlGooru.

Constructor Capital, the Singapore-based VC leading the round, made its first capital investment in the MENA region and Saudi Arabia through AlGooru. Matthias Winter, Managing Partner at Constructor Capital, emphasised the company’s uniqueness: “We believe in AlGooru’s mission to make good education accessible through innovation and technology. We recognise the potential that exists in the Kingdom and are looking to lend our support and expertise to Khalid and the AlGooru team to achieve their goals.” Constructor Capital’s fund’s primary focus is to assist visionary founders in building ground-breaking solutions that will drive real-world change across three vital sectors, namely enterprise software, deeptech, and edtech.
Apart from its extensive subject matter, AlGooru has set itself apart as the first authorized tutoring platform in Saudi Arabia, complying with legal requirements to offer families a safe environment. AlGooru will use this funding to develop its AI and data-driven capabilities, offering customized learning experiences to satisfy students’ changing needs. The platform will be able to hire top edtech talent thanks to the funds, which will also encourage product innovation to satisfy the market for adaptable, technologically advanced tutoring services.
“Our vision at AlGooru is to reshape how students in Saudi Arabia access quality education, providing not only a seamless connection to qualified tutors but also aligning with national goals to enhance educational accessibility,” said Muhanad Aljaser, Co-Founder of AlGooru. “With this new funding, we’re able to expand partnerships that uphold these values, ensuring that students across all educational levels are well-supported in building a strong academic foundation.”
