Orbii, a Riyadh-based credit infrastructure platform, announced it has raised $3.6 million in a seed funding led by Prosus Ventures. Other participating investors include VentureSouq, DASH Ventures, Taz Investments, and Sanabil 500. The company aims to provide AI-powered credit solutions that facilitate SME lending, enable financial institutions, and empower B2B platforms to enhance their services in Saudi Arabia.
