Home-grown talent hiring company <\/strong>Squadio<\/a><\/strong> secured SAR 11 mn in a<\/strong> pre-Series A<\/strong> funding round,<\/strong> with participation from Wa\u2019ed Ventures<\/a>, 500 MENA<\/a>, Seedra Ventures<\/a>, and the National Technology Development Program<\/a>, it said on LinkedIn<\/a> yesterday.<\/p>\n

Where will the money go?<\/strong> The company plans to channel the new funding across several strategic areas, including supporting product development, integrating AI agents into its Team-as-a-Service model, and growing its talent pool, Squadio\u2019s Head of Business Development Esraa Galal (LinkedIn<\/a>) told EnterpriseAM. Squadio also plans to inject a part of this capital into its marketing and business development initiatives to support its regional expansion.<\/p>\n

Which countries are a priority?<\/strong> The company currently focuses on the kingdom as its main hub for growth due to its robust technology ecosystem, digital talent, and technology solutions, Galal said.
