RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — 7 July, 2026 — Startups House (بيت المنشآت), one of Saudi Arabia's first licensed private incubators and accelerators, today announced that its investment arm, Ventures by Startups House ("Ventures by SH"), has invested USD 100,000 in each of five Saudi technology startups from the latest cohort of its proprietary Attliq Accelerator — a total commitment of USD 500,000. The investments were finalized following the cohort's Demo Day.
Each company was sourced and developed through the Attliq program and received its investment on a post-money SAFE agreement. The cohort spans sectors including AI, Retailtech, Healthtech and Fintech.
«Saudi Arabia is producing a new generation of technical founders, and the gap they most need closed sits at the very earliest stage. Through Attliq we identify that talent, and through Ventures by Startups House we back it with conviction. These five companies are exactly the kind of pre-seed Saudi technology we built this fund to support, and we're proud to invest behind them as they scale from the Kingdom to the region and beyond.»
