The largest disclosed round in the 50 most recent Saudi Arabia entries is The Arab Energy Fund at $500M (2026-06-26), a clear outlier above other high-ticket deals like Jabal Omar at $533M (2026-06-18) and AviLease at $650M (2026-06-24). In fact, the only undisputed “giant” in the disclosed amounts is AviLease’s $650M (2026-06-24), while most other disclosed rounds cluster well below $100M (with multiple entries in the $80M range, such as Bidaya at $80M on 2026-06-30 and Derayah Financial at $80M on 2026-06-25).
Geographically, Riyadh dominates the location field: the majority of rows list Riyadh (e.g., Bidaya, Derayah Financial, D360 Bank, CashIn, and DSShield), with smaller pockets in cities like Al Khobar (The Arab Energy Fund, ProMedEx) and Jeddah (AVA on 2026-04-02; MUHIDE on 2026-02-02). Temporally, the newest entry is Bidaya on 2026-06-30, and the oldest shown is SahmAlgo on 2025-11-21, creating a concentrated mid-to-late window (roughly late March through June 2026) alongside a steady tail into November 2025. Stage/classification is also uneven: “Series Unknown” appears in 30 of 50 rows, and “undisclosed” amounts appear in 7 rows (e.g., Hysabat Solutions, STV, and MUHIDE).

Frequently asked
What stands out on deal size in the most recent Saudi Arabia rounds, and how concentrated is it among disclosed amounts?
AviLease’s $650M (2026-06-24) is the top disclosed amount, and it sits far above the next-largest visible figures such as Jabal Omar at $533M (2026-06-18) and The Arab Energy Fund at $500M (2026-06-26). Outside the high end, many disclosed rounds sit in lower tens of millions (e.g., Arib $24M on 2026-05-18; Jeel Pay $30M on 2026-01-14).
Is there a noticeable geographic concentration, or are funding rounds spread evenly across Saudi cities?
The list is heavily Riyadh-centered: dozens of entries cite Riyadh, including D360 Bank ($400M, 2026-06-14), CashIn ($16M, 2026-02-16), and DSShield ($54M, 2025-12-30). Other cities appear less frequently and often as smaller clusters, such as Al Khobar (The Arab Energy Fund $500M on 2026-06-26; ProMedEx $29M on 2026-04-23) and Jeddah (AVA undisclosed on 2026-04-02; MUHIDE undisclosed on 2026-02-02).
Which part of the timeline is most active within the 50 rows shown?
Most of the largest disclosed rounds arrive in a tight late-June window: AviLease ($650M on 2026-06-24), The Arab Energy Fund ($500M on 2026-06-26), and Jabal Omar ($533M on 2026-06-18) all fall within roughly 10 days. The dataset also extends back to 2025-11-21 (SahmAlgo), but the biggest sizes are concentrated closer to late June 2026.
How does stage/disclosure information behave here, and does it create blind spots for sizing comparisons?
“Series Unknown” dominates the 50-row view, appearing in 30 entries, and “undisclosed” amounts appear in 7 rows (for example Hysabat Solutions on 2026-06-14, STV on 2026-05-21, and MUHIDE on 2026-02-02). As a result, comparisons based on amount are skewed toward the disclosed subset rather than the full set.
Are there sector groupings that recur, or is the mix highly fragmented?
The most visible concentration is in Financial Services and related fintech/finance categories (e.g., Bidaya, Derayah Financial, D360 Bank, STitch on 2026-05-14 at $25M, Muhlah on 2026-03-10 at $8M, and Jeel Pay on 2026-01-14 at $30M). Other sectors show up but with fewer repeats in the visible set, such as Real Estate with multiple entries (Asas Makeen $93M on 2026-06-22; Jabal Omar $533M on 2026-06-18; Mnzil $12M on 2025-11-28).
