Flat6Labs has marked the graduation of the sixth cohort of its Riyadh Seed Program, reinforcing its role as a key driver of early-stage innovation in Saudi Arabia. The program is funded by F6 Ventures and delivered in partnership with Saudi Venture Capital Company (SVC), alongside national ecosystem partners including the Jada Fund of Funds and Riyadh Valley Company.
Since its launch in 2023, the Riyadh Seed Program—supported by the National Technology Development Program (NTDP)—has backed the growth of more than 60 startups, deploying nearly $17 million in seed investments. These companies have gone on to attract approximately $38 million in follow-on funding and co-investments, primarily through F6 Ventures’ investment activity.
Beyond capital, the program has supported over 130 founders and contributed to the creation of more than 440 jobs across the Kingdom, underscoring its long-term economic and employment impact.
Building Investment-Ready Startups
The Riyadh Seed Program follows a full startup enablement model, combining funding with hands-on operational and strategic support. Founders receive access to practical mentorship, specialized training, and structured guidance focused on building scalable, market-ready companies. The program also emphasizes exposure and connectivity, enabling investors to identify and engage with high-potential startups early.
The sixth cohort included startups operating across AI, FinTech, HealthTech, IoT, and smart mobility, reflecting the diversity and depth of Saudi Arabia’s emerging innovation landscape.
Closing Day Showcase
The cohort’s graduation culminated in a closing day event in Riyadh, where founders presented their solutions to a curated audience of investors, partners, and media. During the event, F6 Ventures also reviewed its largest annual investment portfolio to date, highlighting its growing footprint and influence within the Saudi venture ecosystem.
With six cohorts completed, Flat6Labs’ Riyadh Seed Program continues to play a central role in strengthening Saudi Arabia’s startup pipeline, aligning early-stage entrepreneurship with national innovation and economic diversification goals.
