Saudi startup Zahib has successfully closed its seed funding round with the support of an angel investor. While the investment amount remains undisclosed, the milestone positions Zahib as a new force in reshaping the Kingdom’s laundry market.
Building Smarter Laundry Logistics
Founded in 2023 by Badr Alhader and Raed Alghamdi, Zahib was created to tackle inefficiencies in the laundry industry through technology-driven logistics solutions. The company is pioneering an integrated model that connects individuals, businesses, and government entities to streamlined laundry services.
Its goal is to establish modern standards that transform the customer experience and support sector-wide growth.
Key focus areas include:
- Scalable solutions tailored for consumers, corporates, and institutions.
- Seamless logistics integration to optimize delivery and pickup.
- Reliable and efficient services built for convenience and trust.
- Tech-driven systems to reduce costs and standardize operations.
Strategic Use of Funding
The new capital injection will allow Zahib to:
- Strengthen its market presence and accelerate customer acquisition.
- Expand operations across new Saudi regions.
- Enhance its technology stack, with automation and advanced logistics tools.
- Introduce industry standards that improve service quality and efficiency.
The startup’s mission is to build a well-structured ecosystem where laundry providers, customers, and logistics partners operate more effectively.
Why the Market Needs Transformation
Saudi Arabia’s laundry sector is large but fragmented, with service quality varying across providers. Inefficiencies in logistics, inconsistent pricing, and limited digital adoption have left room for innovation.
Zahib aims to address these challenges by:
- Offering integrated digital solutions that connect customers directly to services.
- Simplifying operations for laundry businesses through logistics support.
- Elevating customer expectations with faster, more reliable service.
- Encouraging formalization in a sector where standards are often lacking.
This approach not only improves the end-user experience but also strengthens the industry’s contribution to Saudi Arabia’s wider digital transformation goals.
Founders’ Vision
According to Zahib’s leadership, the company is more than a logistics provider. It is an enabler of growth and innovation for an industry that touches millions of consumers daily.
“Our goal is to build a tech-powered ecosystem that supports efficiency, service quality, and long-term growth for the Saudi laundry market,” the founders said in a joint statement.
Outlook
With its seed funding secured, Zahib is now focused on scaling its footprint and establishing itself as a market leader. Its next steps include launching advanced digital features, forging partnerships with laundry operators, and expanding to serve both urban and semi-urban regions across the Kingdom.
Zahib’s entry signals the beginning of a modern era for Saudi Arabia’s laundry sector, one where logistics, technology, and customer experience work seamlessly together.
