Merak Capital joined Jisr for the opening of its new headquarters in Riyadh. During the event, Abdulaziz Alsaeed, Principal, Private Equity at Merak Capital, led a fireside chat with Mohammed Akkar, Founder and CEO of Jisr | جسر.
The discussion centered on Jisr's view of the future of work in Saudi Arabia: bringing an organization's people, finance, time, data, and decisions into one system, and humanizing the workplace by turning scattered daily processes into a single, connected experience built around people. Since first backing Jisr in 2023 and leading its $30 million Series A in 2023, at the time the largest for a SaaS company in the Middle East, we have supported Mohammed and the team as they scale their HR and finance platform across the Kingdom.
Congratulations to Jisr on the new partnerships announced at the event with Nofoth, Lendo, Marsh, and Othaim Holding.
