Tenderd is a construction tech company transforming how contractors manage and rent heavy equipment across the Middle East region, with ambitions to grow globally. Tenderd combines local insight with a global product mindset, led by a second-time founder, Arjun, who returned to the region after building an AI startup in Silicon Valley. The platform began as a managed marketplace for underutilized machinery and has since evolved into a full-stack, AI-powered fleet management system serving the region’s largest contractors.

When we backed Arjun, we were drawn to his experience as a founder, product intuition, and unwavering ambition to digitize one of the region’s most operationally intensive and under-digitized industries.
