The funding deployed into Saudi Arabian startups grew 21 times in 2023 versus 2018 when SVC was launched. We at SVC are committed to continuing to lead the development of the VC ecosystem in Saudi Arabia by stimulating private investors to provide support in turn for startups and SMEs to be capable of fast and high growth, leading to diversifying the national economy and achieving the goals of the Saudi Vision 2030\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SVC is an investment company established in 2018.
