Saudi Arabia FoodTech Funding

In the past five years since 2019, Saudi foodtech startups have attracted over $555 million in funding; food delivery startups have snapped up 48% of that total funding ($266 million), indicating just how integral the food delivery sector is to Saudi’s foodtech startup ecosystem. 

In 2020, 94% of funding went to delivery-related startups driven by Jahez and Nana raising US $36.5 million and $24.6 million, respectively. In 2021 and 2022, Foodics’ two consecutive rounds eclipsed food-related funding as it went on to raise an additional US $170 million. Finally, in 2023, food-related delivery startups are back capturing 85% of the total funding amount driven by Nana’s US $133 million Series C raise.
