About BRKZ

BRKZ is a Riyadh construction-technology company founded in 2022 by CEO Ibrahim Manna (former Careem Managing Director) that runs an AI-enabled B2B procurement platform connecting Saudi and regional contractors and factories with local and international building-materials suppliers. Contractors post RFQs via web or WhatsApp and receive competitive bids; BRKZ layers logistics, quality assurance and embedded financing (including BNPL/flexible terms) while monetising primarily through supplier commissions. The company cites more than 1,500 contracting companies, ~150 factories and ~2,100 suppliers, over $133 million in materials sold and more than $1.37 billion in RFQs processed, with a proprietary ~38 million-point materials dataset powering an AI pricing engine that predicts buy/sell prices within ~5% on most quotes and agents such as Nusa that auto-close bulk-cement delivery notes from WhatsApp photos. After earlier equity including a Series A with BECO Capital, Wa'ed and 9900 Capital, in September 2026 BRKZ secured $31 million in new capital: a $13 million Series B equity co-led by Wa'ed Ventures and 500 Global with BECO Capital and ANB Capital, plus $18 million growth debt from Stride Ventures under a prior facility—taking total capital raised to more than $70 million—to deepen AI quotation/pricing/fulfilment, cross-border China/India corridors and embedded finance.
