Construction materials marketplace Brkz in Saudi Arabia secures $9 million in new funding towards a $17 million Series A round
In the heart of the Middle East, a construction technology startup named Brkz is making waves in the industry. Based in Saudi Arabia, Brkz has recently secured $17 million in its Series A funding round, bringing its total funding to $22.5 million.
Brkz operates a B2B marketplace that revolutionizes construction procurement by digitizing the process. Since raising its Series A1, the company has seen a fourfold increase in revenue during 2024.
The platform connects contractors with suppliers, offering over 7,000 SKUs from more than 1,100 local suppliers. Competitive quotes are available within 20 minutes on the Brkz platform, making it a valuable tool for streamlining construction procurement.
Brkz has expanded its delivery network to over 40 cities across Saudi Arabia, ensuring that construction projects can benefit from its services nationwide. The platform has processed $350 million (SAR 1.3 billion) in RFQs, demonstrating its significant impact on the industry.
Ibrahim Manna, Founder and CEO of Brkz, plans to use the funding for tech development, enhancing Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) offerings, and expanding into cross-border trading. This expansion will further solidify Brkz's position as a leader in the construction technology sector.
Brkz is not just a startup, but a key player in the Saudi entrepreneurship ecosystem. It has garnered support from venture capital arms such as Wa’ed Ventures, affiliated with Saudi Aramco. This support aligns with the Kingdom’s strategic shift toward a knowledge-based economy and seeks to create sustainable SMEs, foster job creation, and transfer technological knowledge locally.
As of mid-2025, Brkz has been recognised as one of the top startups in the construction-tech field in the Middle East. It now serves more than 850 unique contractors and factories across major projects, solidifying its position as a crucial player in the construction sector.
With its innovative approach to construction procurement, Brkz is set to continue its growth trajectory, shaping the future of the construction industry in Saudi Arabia and beyond.
