Saudi-based Sabbar raises $1.5 million seed to connect gig workers with temporary work opportunities
Saudi-based recruitment technology platform Sabbar has raised $1.5 million in a seed round led by Dubai’s VentureSouq, the startup announced in a statement to MENAbytes today. The round was also joined by 500 Startups (Sabbar was also part of Misk500’s inaugural cohort), Derayah VC, and some ‘super angels’ from Saudi Arabia. Founded last year by Mohamed T.
