Saudi cybersecurity startup Solidrange raises $2,4m in seed funding.

Backed by Sharaka Capital and others, signalling strong local confidence.

Founded in 2023, it delivers AI-powered governance, risk and compliance tools.

Its platforms automate workflows and boost staff security awareness.

Funds will drive regional expansion and deeper AI integration.

Saudi cybersecurity startup Solidrange has secured $2.4 million in a seed funding round, marking an early but confident step in what is fast becoming one of the Kingdom’s busiest sectors.

The round was led by Sharaka Capital, with participation from Sadu Capital, SEEDRA Ventures and tali ventures by stc. It’s a line-up that signals serious local backing, especially at a time when cybersecurity is no longer a “nice to have” but a board-level priority.

Founded in 2023 by Jamal Labani, Solidrange focuses on AI-powered cybersecurity solutions. In simple terms, the company uses artificial intelligence to help organisations automate their governance, risk and compliance processes, often shortened to GRC in industry jargon, and to strengthen security awareness among employees. If you’ve ever sat through a corporate compliance training session that felt like a bit of a faff, you’ll understand why automation and smarter delivery matter.

Solidrange currently operates two core platforms. The first, EasyCompliance, is designed to automate compliance workflows, helping organisations keep up with regulatory requirements without drowning in paperwork. The second, Awareness10, focuses on cybersecurity training and awareness, aiming to reduce the risk of human error, still one of the weakest links in any security chain.

The startup says it already serves more than 50 government entities and large enterprises. That’s not a small feat for a company that’s barely three years old. On the flip side, with public sector clients comes high expectations, and scaling responsibly will be key.

The fresh capital is set to support Solidrange’s regional expansion plans, further product development and deeper integration of AI across its platforms. And believe it or not, AI in cybersecurity is no longer just a buzzword. Used properly, it can flag unusual behaviour, predict risks and shorten response times, which, in cyber terms, can be the difference between a minor hiccup and a reputational disaster.

From where I stand, watching the Saudi startup scene evolve over the years, moves like this feel spot on. There’s a clear push towards building local tech champions that can compete across the region. At Arageek, we often talk about energising founders who dare to tackle tough infrastructure problems, and cybersecurity definately sits high on that list. It may not be as flashy as fintech or consumer apps, but it’s foundational.

That said, the market is crowded and competition is fierce. I reckon execution will matter more than ambition here. If Solidrange can deliver measurable results for its clients while expanding beyond Saudi Arabia, this seed round could turn out to be a very smart bet indeed.
