A young Saudi RegTech startup secures fresh capital
Saudi RegTech startup STAMP has raised USD 2 million in pre-seed funding to expand its AI-driven compliance and corporate-operations platform. The round included participation from angel investors and early-stage backers focused on enterprise software in the Gulf.
Founded in 2021 by Muyasser Albar and Mohammed Zarei, STAMP builds tools that help companies manage regulatory licences, corporate registrations, HR obligations and post-incorporation tasks from a unified digital dashboard.
The company says the new capital will accelerate development of its AI engine, which is designed to analyse regulatory requirements, automate filings and cut down on manual compliance work for businesses operating in Saudi Arabia.
A product built for Saudi Arabia’s regulatory moment
Saudi Arabia is pushing hard toward clearer regulation, digital government workflows and streamlined incorporation processes. This has created strong demand for compliance automation, especially among SMEs, foreign entrants and fast-growing companies dealing with new obligations. STAMP’s platform aims to reduce friction by centralising government updates, HR workflows and documentation into one intelligent system.
For the tech sector, this sits where AI meets enterprise-process automation. RegTech adoption in the Gulf is still early, and a pre-seed round of this size signals growing investor confidence in tools that simplify governance and incorporation. As the country works to attract international investment under Vision 2030, platforms that reduce bureaucratic overhead become commercially and strategically valuable.
One investor noted in the announcement that STAMP “addresses a real pain point for Saudi businesses that struggle with fragmented regulatory workflows,” pointing to growth opportunities as regulations expand and digital services mature.
Who stands to benefit from the platform
Businesses operating in Saudi Arabia, from SMEs to multinationals, benefit first. Companies navigating licensing, HR compliance or cross-border expansion often rely on slow manual processes spread across several government portals. Tools like STAMP can consolidate those tasks into a single system.
Legal teams, corporate secretaries and operations managers may also adopt the platform as part of a wider move toward digitising compliance and governance. The raise sends signals to the broader RegTech ecosystem in the Middle East, where competitors and new entrants are watching demand for similar tools.
Where the company goes next
STAMP plans to hire engineering talent, expand integrations with government systems and introduce new AI capabilities focused on predictive compliance and automated documentation. The team is also exploring partnerships with legal firms, consulting agencies and corporate-service providers who frequently manage regulatory work for clients.
Expansion beyond Saudi Arabia is possible, but the company’s immediate focus is deepening functionality for businesses operating in the Kingdom as regulatory transformation accelerates.
