Riyadh – Sharikat Mubasher: Value Makers Studio (VMS) joined the latest funding rounds of two high-growth ventures—Saudi restaurant-tech startup Ballurh and Berlin-founded mental health platform Arab Therapy—underscoring its push to back innovation across Saudi Arabia and the wider region.

Ballurh provides an AI-driven operating system that helps restaurants boost revenues and manage delivery-platform operations. The company supports more than 400 restaurants and has processed over SR1 billion ($267 million) in transactions.

As per a recent press release, Motaz Abuonq, VMS founder, said the partnership reflects the studio’s focus on data and AI solutions aligned with Vision 2030.

Abdulwahab AlZaidi, Ballurh’s CEO, called the deal a strategic boost for expansion in a Saudi food-and-beverage market worth over $30 billion.

VMS also invested in Arab Therapy, which offers confidential online therapy sessions and corporate wellness programs. Tareq Dalbah, the CEO, said the funding will accelerate efforts to bring European-standard mental health services to the Kingdom in line with the Quality of Life initiative.
