Flat6Labs has officially launched its Riyadh Seed Program, marking a significant expansion of its footprint in Saudi Arabia’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. Designed to empower high-potential startups, the program will provide seed funding to more than 20 Saudi ventures annually over the next three years, with the goal of accelerating innovation and scaling businesses across the MENA region.
Backed by the Startup Seed Fund, the initiative offers selected startups SAR 500,000 in cash investment, along with strategic mentorship, legal support, office space, and access to a robust network of investors and corporate partners.
The four-month program is structured to guide entrepreneurs through critical milestones, including product development, market validation, and investor engagement. Participants benefit from tailored one-on-one coaching, pitch workshops, and exposure to business networking events, culminating in a Demo Day where they present their ventures to a curated audience of stakeholders. Flat6Labs emphasizes full-time commitment from applicants, who must reside in any city within Saudi Arabia.
The program’s rigorous selection process begins with a bootcamp and committee review, ensuring that only the most promising startups are admitted. Once onboard, founders receive hands-on support to refine their business models and prepare for fundraising. Even after graduation, startups remain part of the Flat6Labs network, gaining continued access to mentorship, perks, and investor connections.
The Riyadh Seed Program is set to begin on September 23, 2025, and conclude on January 8, 2026, with applications open until August 16, 2025. By fostering a vibrant startup culture and equipping founders with the tools to succeed, Flat6Labs aims to position Saudi Arabia as a regional hub for innovation and entrepreneurship.
The program reflects the Kingdom’s broader commitment to nurturing its digital economy and supporting the next generation of tech-driven enterprises.
