## About SOUM

## Company Overview

- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Bader Almubarak (CEO), Fahad Al Hassan, Fahad Albassam

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Internet Marketplace Platforms / Re-commerce
- **Target customers**: B2C (individual buyers and sellers), B2B (small businesses via Merchant App), and B2B2C (telecom/retail partners with bulk-selling options)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "Build a marketplace that enables users to buy and sell anything online with convenience, trust, and ease starting in the MENA market."

## Products & Services
- **Peer-to-Peer Marketplace**: A platform for individuals to list and sell second-hand electronics, used cars, and collectibles. Soum manages the entire transaction cycle including listing approval, logistics coordination, payment holding, and delivery guarantee.
- **Merchant App**: A dedicated tool for small businesses to sell faster and reach a wider audience through the Soum marketplace.
- **Bulk-Selling Solutions for Partners**: Tailored services for telecom and retail partners (e.g., bulk inspections, warehouse management, optimal returns) for high-volume inventory.
- **AI-Powered Platform Features**: Personalized recommendations, dynamic pricing, predictive analytics, and fraud detection models deployed across the marketplace.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Trust & Safety Moat**: Proprietary fulfillment and payment systems hold funds until the buyer confirms delivery—reducing fraud risk in a high-friction category (used goods).

- **AI Integration**: Uses machine learning for recommendations, dynamic pricing, and fraud detection, making the platform smarter and safer as it scales.

- **Remote/Hybrid Policy**: Mixed. Many roles are remote (e.g., Cairo-based positions), but some roles (e.g., Senior Compliance Officer, Operations roles) are on-site in Riyadh or Jeddah. The company has offices in Riyadh and Cairo.
- **Global & Diverse Team**: 90 employees spread across 8 countries (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan, UAE, South Korea, Nigeria, Uzbekistan, US). Engineering and product teams are distributed.
