In Gulf logistics, the focus has largely been on first and last mile, whereas middle-mile warehousing, the layer in between, has been overlooked, even as demand for it outstrips supply by 30-50% in Saudi Arabia. Closing that gap requires a verified network of providers, plus software, to manage capacity, compliance, and service levels through a single relationship. Since 2022, Sirdab has built this across Saudi Arabia.
Our partnership with Sirdab
We co-led Sirdab’s seed round in 2024, after the team had spent years operating in the sector before identifying middle-mile warehousing as the layer of the value chain with the most room to build. The company’s hybrid model of owned and partner-operated facilities aligns closely with our Logistics thesis. We were impressed by the team’s execution, traction, and thoughtfulness around their vision. Today, Sirdab is on track to become the logistics infrastructure layer for Saudi Arabia.
About the round
Sirdab has now secured $10 million in Series A funding. The round was co-led by BECO Capital and new investor Elm, the PIF-backed digital solutions company. The funding will support Sirdab’s expansion across Saudi Arabia, growth of its provider network, and further development of its platform, including AI that matches businesses to capacity and automates coordination between shippers, warehouses, and carriers.
