Welcome to our weekly edition of Seed Watch- a segment of Market Insyte Digest focused on sharing some of the latest and most intriguing Pre-seed & Seed funding news grabbing the headlines in the startup world. Find out the top 3 deals from this week that caught our eye.
Startup Name: Sapiom Inc
Industry: Artificial Intelligence
Region: United States
Amount (USD): $15.75 million
The problem it is solving: Sapiom addresses the mismatch between AI agents and traditional cloud billing models. AI agents frequently rely on third-party tools and services, which often require subscriptions or upfront commitments that don’t align with usage patterns. This creates cost inefficiencies, budget overruns, and operational complexity for developers managing APIs, billing models, and tool integrations.
What the Funds Will Be Spent On: Expanding its usage-based cloud platform for AI agents. Scaling access to pay-as-you-go tools and over 400 AI models. Enhancing cost controls, budgeting features, and API key management. Strengthening integrations across compute, data, inference, and messaging services.
Startup Name: Safqah Capital
Industry: Real Estate Fintech
Region: Saudi Arabia
Amount (USD): $15.2 million
The problem it is solving: Safqah Capital addresses a structural financing gap in Saudi Arabia’s real estate market. While large giga-projects receive significant funding attention, small and medium-sized property developers struggle with slow bank approvals, rigid underwriting standards, and limited access to Shariah-compliant debt financing. This constrains housing and commercial development across the Kingdom.
What the Funds Will Be Spent On: Enhancing its digital financing platform. Building advanced AI-driven tools for underwriting, risk assessment, and project monitoring. Expanding financing capacity to fund more projects and larger developments. Scaling its infrastructure to support growing demand from SME developers.
Startup Name: Nullify
Industry: Cybersecurity
Region: United States
Amount (USD): $12.5 million
The problem it is solving: Nullify addresses the growing security labour shortage and the rise of sophisticated AI-enabled cyberattacks. Security teams often rely on fragmented tools, manual triage, and slow vulnerability management workflows. This makes it difficult to keep pace with increasingly automated and intelligent threats.
What the Funds Will Be Spent On: Scaling go-to-market operations. Expanding engineering and research teams. Accelerating global growth. Deploying its “AI workforce” across mid-market enterprises and high-growth SaaS companies.
