Saudi Venture Capital (SVC) announced the launch of Aian, a pioneering proprietary intelligence platform that further strengthens SVC’s role as a market maker in Saudi Arabia’s private capital ecosystem.
Aian is a custom-built AI market intelligence capability developed in-house leveraging Saudi national expertise that transforms SVC’s unparalleled private market data and deep institutional knowledge into timely, structured insights into market dynamics, sector evolution, and capital formation.
As a cognitive institutional function, it transforms institutional memory into complex intelligence, ensuring that decisions reflect both current market signals and long-term historical insights.
Nora Alsarkhan, Deputy CEO and Chief Investment Officer at SVC, said: “As the size of Saudi Arabia’s private capital market grows, clarity, transparency and data integrity are as important as the capital itself. Iron is a new layer of domestic market infrastructure. “By transforming data into actionable intelligence, Iron will strengthen Saudi Arabia’s position as the region’s leading private capital hub.” 2030. ”
Mr. Alsarkhan said, “Market creation is not just about deploying capital, but creating the conditions for capital to flow efficiently. The next stage of market development will be driven not just by investment but by intelligence. Together with Iron, we are building the data backbone of Saudi Arabia’s private capital ecosystem. This will enable us to see markets clearly, act with precision, and ensure capital formation is based on insight, not assumptions.”
Asali Al-Mubarak, chief strategy officer at SVC, said: “In private capital markets, access to capital is rarely binding. Access to trusted insight is increasingly binding. This is especially true in emerging and rapidly expanding markets where transactions are inconsistently reported and institutional knowledge is fragmented across organizations and individuals.”
Mr. AlMubarak said: “The lack of clear and consistent data is a structural challenge for development finance institutions operating in private capital markets. This directly impacts the efficiency of capital allocation and the ability to attract private investment at scale.”
“SVC was created to address precisely these market frictions. As a government-backed investor with a clear market-shaping mission, our role extends beyond deploying capital to shaping the conditions in which private capital can grow sustainably,” he added.
By integrating SVC’s proprietary portfolio data with selected external market sources, Aian enables continuous integration and validation of market activity. The platform generates a living representation of markets that reflects how capital is actually deployed over time, rather than how it is imperfectly reported at any given moment.
