Saudi fintech Rabeh raises $8.5M to link founders with investors

What's the deal? RabehDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, a Saudi fintech founded in 2022 by Mohammed Alsolami, has raised $8.5 million from a group of angel investors. It is building a platform to connect entrepreneurs seeking capital with investors hunting for opportunities.

What's the endgame? The platform combines financing, AI, tokenization, and trading tools for real-world assets (RWA) and equity shares. AI sits at the center, matching founders with relevant investors and improving how deals are discovered.

Why now? Access to capital remains a hurdle for early-stage businesses, especially when founders struggle to reach the right investors or navigate fragmented fundraising. Rabeh wants to pull both sides into a single digital environment.

Its tokenization tools would represent rights to an asset digitally, letting them be managed or transferred through the platform.

What could go wrong? A two-sided marketplace only works with participation on both sides. Rabeh's progress depends not just on its technology, but on attracting credible investment opportunities and active investors — and turning that into sustained deal flow and liquidity.

The signal: The round is a large one for its category, ranking in the 97th percentile among angel rounds in Saudi fintech. It arrives as Saudi Arabia keeps expanding its fintech ecosystem and digital financial infrastructure.
