KLIQ, Saudi Arabia’s pioneering AI-driven influencer marketing platform, has successfully raised $2.25 million in a seed funding round. The investment was led by Sanabil Venture Studio, a subsidiary of Sanabil Investments, in partnership with German venture builder Stryber.
Founded by Asma’a AlMaraghi in 2025, KLIQ is the Kingdom’s first end-to-end influencer marketing platform powered by proprietary AI. The platform addresses common challenges in the creator economy by automating workflows, enhancing transparency, and providing measurable outcomes. KLIQ’s AI engine intelligently matches brands with creators, streamlines contract management, and offers real-time performance tracking, thereby redefining how brands and content creators collaborate.
The seed funding will accelerate KLIQ’s platform development and expand its AI-driven technological capabilities. This investment aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, focusing on digital transformation and private-sector innovation. KLIQ aims to empower brands and content creators to run marketing campaigns that are more efficient, transparent, and performance-orientated, maximising ROI while minimising operational and administrative bottlenecks.
With this strategic investment, KLIQ is poised to scale its operations and further innovate in the influencer marketing space. The platform’s growth reflects the increasing importance of AI in shaping the future of marketing in Saudi Arabia and the broader MENA region.
