We are pleased to share that Eddekhar has completed Cohort 9 of TAQADAM, the startup accelerator run by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in partnership with SAB.
What is TAQADAM?
Launched in 2016, TAQADAM is one of the Kingdom's leading startup accelerators. Over six months, it provides startups with mentorship, non-dilutive funding, and access to a wide network of experts and investors. Cohort 9 brought together 20 startups from 13 countries across 12 industries, and concluded with the annual Investor Showcase at KAUST.
What the program gave us
Over the past months, the program was a genuine opportunity to refine our vision, challenge our assumptions, and work closely with founders, mentors, and investors building ambitious companies across the region. We came out of it with a deeper understanding of our customers' needs, a more mature product, and a network that supports Eddekhar's next stage of growth.
What this means for our customers
Eddekhar enables companies in Saudi Arabia to offer their employees a Shariah-compliant savings and investment program, licensed by the Capital Market Authority, running automatically through HR and payroll systems. Every step we take in building the company, from accelerator programs to partnerships, serves one goal: a more reliable platform for employers, and a more financially secure future for employees.
Our thanks go to the TAQADAM team, the mentors, and everyone we connected with along the way. There is a lot ahead, and we will share the details as they come.
