Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: Soum, a marketplace for secondhand products based in Saudi Arabia, secured SAR 67.5 million in a series A funding round led by Jahez, with participation from Isometry Capital along with existing investors including Khwarizmi Ventures, Alrajhi Partners, and Outliers Venture Capital.

In a statement, Soum revealed that it will dedicate the proceeds to boost its expansion regionally and broaden its services to include high-value categories for secondhand products.
