Riyadh – Mubasher: Saudi edtech startup GAGA has secured $2.50 million in a pre-Series A funding round led by Phoenix Venture Partners, bringing its total funding to $4.20 million.
The platform will use the new funding to expand its teacher network, enhance its technology stack, and scale its Arabic-language educational content across Saudi Arabia, according to a press release.
Founded by Abdullah Alkharsani and Eyad Alshabaan, GAGA is positioning itself as a leading alternative to traditional private tutoring and non-interactive digital learning platforms in the Kingdom.
It offers live, interactive online education for students aged 4 to 18. This is in addition to more than 1,000 live programs across 200 subjects, integrating academic and skill-based learning through real-time teacher-student interactions.
Moreover, the startup is working on developing AI-powered tools to personalize learning journeys, assess student performance, and identify knowledge gaps, enabling tailor-made educational paths based on individual needs.
