Disclosed round sizes in this Saudi AI list are highly uneven: Salasa’s $30M (2025-08-04) and Lucidya’s $30M (2025-07-14) sit at the top, while the next-largest disclosed amounts are far lower, including Lean Technologies at $68M (2024-11-11) and Foodics at $170M (2022-04-20). In other words, large tickets appear, but the “upper tier” is dominated by a small set of companies rather than a steady climb.
City and timing patterns are tighter. Twenty-four of 26 entries list Riyadh (e.g., Gabster on 2026-05-09 at $500K; Sary on 2021-12-19 at $75M), with Dammam (Lahint Company, $1M on 2025-02-11; Perfect Vision, $20M on 2024-10-17) and Jeddah (Quantum Platform, $7M on 2024-10-02) as secondary clusters. Temporally, the visible rounds span 2020-03-17 (Quant Data & Analytics, $1M) through 2026-05-09 (Gabster), with two $30M rounds landing within two weeks in July–August 2025. Stage disclosure is also mixed: “undisclosed” amounts appear 2 times (Thakaa Med, 2025-05-01; Omniful, 2023-12-01), and “Series Unknown” appears 4 times (Thakaa Med, 2025-05-01; Perfect Vision, 2024-10-17; Sadeem Technology, 2024-07-31; Rewaa, 2022-05-02).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed funding amount in these Saudi AI rounds, and how separated is it from the rest?
Foodics closed the largest disclosed round at $170M on 2022-04-20. The next-largest disclosed entries in the table are $75M for Sary (2021-12-19) and $68M for Lean Technologies (2024-11-11), so $170M is an outlier versus the rest of the disclosed range.
Are Riyadh-based companies over-represented compared with other cities in this list?
Yes. 24 of 26 entries are in Riyadh, including Gabster ($500K, 2026-05-09) and Salasa ($30M, 2025-08-04), while non-Riyadh examples include Dammam (Lahint Company $1M, 2025-02-11; Quantum Platform is listed across Jeddah) and Jeddah/Makkah (Quantum Platform $7M, 2024-10-02).
Which entries land closest to the most recent round date shown?
The latest date is 2026-05-09 (Gabster, $500K). The closest follow-ups are 2025-08-04 (Salasa, $30M) and 2025-07-15 (Wittify.ai, $2M), with additional nearby rounds in mid-July 2025 such as Lucidya on 2025-07-14 ($30M) and the 2025-06-17 Seed round for Darwinz AI ($330K).
How much of the funding data is missing via “undisclosed” amounts or “Series Unknown” labels?
Two entries show an “undisclosed” amount: Thakaa Med (2025-05-01) and Omniful (2023-12-01). Separately, four entries use “Series Unknown” (Thakaa Med 2025-05-01; Perfect Vision 2024-10-17; Sadeem Technology 2024-07-31; Rewaa 2022-05-02).
Is there a visible stage mix, or do later stages dominate these disclosed rounds?
Earlier rounds appear frequently, but larger disclosed checks are not limited to one stage. For example, Pre-Seed appears with Gabster ($500K, 2026-05-09) and GrintaHub ($800K, 2021-11-20), while very large amounts occur in later labels too: Foodics is Series C at $170M (2022-04-20) and Sary is Series C at $75M (2021-12-19), alongside Series B rounds like Lean Technologies’ $68M (2024-11-11) and Noo n’s Series B at $41M (2023-11-02).
