Ten Saudi startups included in Riyadh Seed Program post Flat6Labs investment

With 41 investments made in the Kingdom through the Startup Seed Fund, Flat6Labs, the most active seed and early-stage venture capital firm in MENA, has made great progress in assisting Saudi Arabia’s startup scene. As a result of its dedication to fostering innovation and developing local talent, Flat6Labs has arguably emerged as the most active investor in Saudi startups since its founding in 2023.

For the fourth cycle of the Riyadh Seed Program, we have invested in ten promising Saudi-based startups in our most recent round. These companies span dynamic industries like consumer tech, cybersecurity, e-commerce, logistics, transportation, SaaS, and talent acquisition.

These startups receive substantial support throughout the program, including a minimum SAR 500,000 cash investment and a four-month acceleration initiative aimed at accelerating their growth, improving their market positioning, and expanding their capabilities throughout KSA and beyond. The program’s objectives are to get them ready for the next phase of their journey, which includes growing their clientele, improving operational effectiveness, and forming strategic alliances.

The Startup Seed Fund, which is run by Flat6Labs and has investments from the Saudi Venture Capital Company, the Jada Fund of Funds, and the Riyadh Valley Company, provides support and funding for the Riyadh Seed Program. Additionally, the National Technology Development Program supports the program through its Empowering Accelerators initiative.

The fund was created with the goal of giving investors large capital gains by using a highly diversified and methodical investment strategy to invest in tech startups in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It seeks to purchase targeted equity stakes in early-stage businesses in the Kingdom’s innovation and technology sectors.
