AlGooru Raises $4 Million in Pre-Series A Funding Round
Saudi-based educational technology platform AlGooru has just secured a whopping $4 million in a pre-Series A funding round, utilizing a combination of debt and equity financing.
The round was spearheaded by Constructor Capital, with additional backing from Hub71, angel investors, and family offices.
Founded in 2021 by CEO Khalid Abou Kassem and Omer Awad, AlGooru serves as a bridge between students and on-demand private tutors, offering educational services in 20 core subjects such as mathematics, science, and language development.
What sets AlGooru apart is its status as Saudi Arabia’s first licensed private tutoring service, ensuring adherence to government regulations for safe and accessible learning.
This fresh injection of funds will fuel AlGooru’s expansion efforts across Saudi Arabia, with a primary focus on scaling its offline tutoring services, improving its AI-driven technologies, and exploring new verticals. Expect strategic partnerships to be unveiled in 2025, expanding the platform’s offerings even further.
This latest investment comes on the heels of a successful $1.8 million seed round in 2022, led by RAZ Group, RZM Investment, 100 Ventures, RAY Investment, and Oqal Angel Investors.
Matthias Winter, managing partner at Constructor Capital, voiced his confidence in AlGooru’s mission, stating, “We believe in AlGooru’s vision of democratizing quality education through innovation and technology.”
He went on to say, “We see immense potential in the Kingdom and eagerly anticipate supporting Khalid and the AlGooru team in realizing their objectives.”
With the newly acquired funding, AlGooru is set to bolster its AI and data-driven capabilities to offer personalized learning experiences tailored to the ever-changing needs of students. The platform also aims to attract top-tier talent in the edtech sector to foster innovation and cater to the rising demand for flexible, tech-enabled tutoring solutions.
“The unwavering support from our investors underscores the positive impact AlGooru is making in revolutionizing the tutoring landscape in Saudi Arabia,” said Kassem.
“This investment not only positions us to redefine the tutoring sector in the Kingdom but also to contribute to the broader mission of enhancing educational accessibility and quality in the region.”
This influx of new capital marks a significant stride towards AlGooru’s mission of reshaping education in Saudi Arabia and beyond, aligning perfectly with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 objectives for educational transformation and innovation.
