Deep.SA extends pre-seed round with Vision Ventures investment
Investment extends SAR 4.5 million round from TAM and Raed Ventures
#SaudiArabia #funding – Saudi AI startup Deep.SA has announced the participation of Riyadh-based venture capital firm Vision Ventures in its pre-seed funding round, extending a previous raise of SAR 4.5 million ($1.2 million) backed by Saudi Arabia real estate developer TAM and regional venture capital firm Raed Ventures announced in August 2025. Founded in 2025 by Mohammed Daggas, Deep.SA develops locally hosted AI platforms and models tailored for government and enterprise clients, focusing on operational efficiency, cost optimisation and secure data environments aligned with Saudi regulations. The new investment will accelerate product development, expand Saudi-built AI infrastructure and scale recently launched alPlatform.ai platform.
SO WHAT? – The investment supports Deep.SA’s focus on building sovereign AI infrastructure through locally deployed solutions that prioritise data localisation, regulatory compliance and digital sovereignty rather than relying on international cloud services that may not meet Kingdom-specific requirements. Sovereign AI infrastructure and systems have quickly become a strategic capability rather than simply a compliance requirement, particularly as Saudi Arabia scales AI adoption across multiple sectors under the National AI Strategy 2030.
Here are some key points about the funding:
