The disclosed funding amounts in this Saudi commerce and shopping set cluster tightly at the high end, with one major outlier: DataVolt raised $150M on 2026-06-17, matching Tamara’s $150M on 2023-03-16, while the next-largest disclosed rounds are $156M for Floward (2023-02-07) and $100K-level entries like Jaleesa on 2021-12-12. The smallest disclosed amount is Jaleesa’s $100K (2021-12-12), creating a wide disclosed range from $100K to $156M, with many other disclosed rounds concentrated in the single-digit millions ($2M–$15M across e.g., Ejari $15M on 2024-10-09; OTO $8M on 2024-07-22; Qawafel $3M on 2022-03-13).
Geographically, Riyadh dominates the list: 15 of 23 entries are based in Riyadh (e.g., DataVolt 2026-06-17; Ejari 2024-10-09; Zid زد 2022-10-17), while Jeddah appears for six entries (including AVA in Jeddah on 2026-04-02 and Floward’s 2023-02-07 placement in Riyadh). Temporally, rounds span 2021-01-07 (Ejaro) through 2026-06-17 (DataVolt), and “Series Unknown” or “undisclosed” amounts are frequent: 5 entries list “Series Unknown” and 7 entries have “undisclosed” amounts, including BRKZ (undisclosed) on 2026-04-29 and Resal (undisclosed) on 2025-07-08.

Frequently asked
What are the largest disclosed rounds here, and how do they compare with the rest of the disclosed amounts?
The highest disclosed amount in the rows is Floward’s $156M (2023-02-07), followed by two $150M rounds: DataVolt ($150M on 2026-06-17) and Tamara ($150M on 2023-03-16). Outside those, the next-largest disclosed figures are far smaller—for example Ejari at $15M (2024-10-09) and OTO at $8M (2024-07-22), with multiple disclosed rounds in the $2M–$7M band (e.g., Mabaat $2M on 2021-08-17; M5azn $6M on 2023-10-08).
Is Riyadh over-represented compared with other Saudi cities in this list?
Yes. Riyadh is listed for 15 of 23 entries (including DataVolt on 2026-06-17, Ejari on 2024-10-09, and Zid زد on 2022-10-17), while Jeddah appears for six entries (e.g., AVA on 2026-04-02; Floward is in Riyadh but multiple Jeddah-labeled entries include Resal 2025-07-08). Dammam has one entry (Golden Scent, undisclosed on 2023-08-08).
How much of the recent activity (most recent ~90 days) is concentrated near the top of this table?
Between 2026-04-02 (AVA) and 2026-06-17 (DataVolt), four entries appear: AVA (2026-04-02, undisclosed), BRKZ (2026-04-29, undisclosed), Intelligent Oud (2026-05-21, $13M), and DataVolt (2026-06-17, $150M). Of those four, only one has a disclosed amount ($13M for Intelligent Oud), making undisclosed amounts common in the freshest cluster.
What does the stage mix look like, and are there concentrations in specific stages or many uncategorized entries?
Stages vary, but “Seed/Pre-Seed” and later named rounds both show up, alongside a meaningful amount of unclassified structure. Specifically, “Series Unknown” is used for 5 entries (including DataVolt 2026-06-17 and WellPal 2024-10-14), while named stages include Seed (e.g., Nabt app $3M on 2025-12-04; Ejari $15M on 2024-10-09) and Series A (OTO $8M on 2024-07-22; RedBox $7M on 2023-10-04).
Are “undisclosed” amounts or very small disclosed rounds outliers worth flagging?
Undisclosed amounts are frequent: 7 entries show “undisclosed” (including BRKZ 2026-04-29; AVA 2026-04-02; Resal 2025-07-08). On the low end, the smallest disclosed amount is Jaleesa at $100K (2021-12-12), while multiple other smaller disclosed rounds cluster around ~$0.7M–$3M (e.g., Prexle $700K on 2021-04-12; Qawafel $3M on 2022-03-13), making Jaleesa materially lower than most disclosed small rounds in the table.
