Saudi-based educational technology platform, AlGooru, has raised an impressive $4 million in a pre-Series, a funding round, combining both debt and equity financing. The round, led by Constructor Capital, also saw participation from Hub71, angel investors, and family offices, positioning AlGooru for an exciting phase of growth.
Founded in 2021 by Khalid Abou Kassem and Omer Awad, AlGooru connects students with on-demand private tutors across 20 core subjects, including mathematics, science, and language development. Notably, AlGooru is Saudi Arabia’s first licensed private tutoring service, ensuring compliance with government regulations to offer safe, reliable, and accessible learning opportunities.
Fueling Expansion and Innovation in Saudi Arabia
The newly raised funding will support AlGooru’s continued expansion within Saudi Arabia, focusing on scaling its offline tutoring services, enhancing AI-driven technologies, and exploring new verticals to meet the growing demand for personalized educational experiences. Strategic partnerships, which are expected to be revealed in 2025, will help diversify and extend the platform’s offerings.
AlGooru’s founder, CEO Khalid Abou Kassem, shared his enthusiasm for the growth journey ahead, stating:
“The continued support from our investors underscores the positive impact AlGooru is having in transforming the tutoring landscape in Saudi Arabia. This investment positions us to not only redefine the tutoring sector in the Kingdom but also to contribute to the broader goal of enhancing educational accessibility and quality in the region.”

Building on a Strong Foundation
AlGooru’s $4M funding round builds on the success of its $1.8M seed round in 2022, led by RAZ Group, RZM Investment, 100 Ventures, RAY Investment, and Oqal Angel Investors. This additional capital will help AlGooru attract top-tier talent in the edtech sector, furthering the platform’s mission to offer tech-enabled tutoring services that provide flexibility and convenience to students of all backgrounds.
