Press release:

Fitting, the Saudi-based construction-tech startup, announced it has successfully closed a $500,000 pre-seed funding round led by a strategic angel investor. This milestone marks the beginning of a new phase of growth, enabling the company to scale operations and forge impactful partnerships in the construction materials sector.

Born out of a clear market gap, Fitting was founded in 2024 to address the inefficiencies in Saudi Arabia’s construction supply chain. The platform connects wholesale suppliers of building materials with retailers and real estate developers, providing a digital marketplace that improves transparency, speeds up procurement, and reduces waste.

With this fresh capital, Fitting plans to develop its technology infrastructure, expand its team with new expertise, and build strategic partnerships with major players in the industry.

The construction sector in Saudi Arabia is undergoing a major transformation under Vision 2030, driven by mega-projects such as NEOM, Qiddiya, and large-scale housing initiatives. Fitting aims to position itself as a central player in this ecosystem, helping suppliers reach new customers and enabling developers and retailers to secure better deals faster and more efficiently.

"This investment is not just financial support—it’s validation of our vision to reshape one of the Kingdom’s most vital industries," said the Fitting founding team. "We are building more than a platform; we are creating an integrated ecosystem that empowers all stakeholders in the construction supply chain."
