Saudi Arabia has 13.2 million insured employees. 43% are heading toward chronic disease.
Each high-risk employee costs SAR 8,500/year in healthcare and lost productivity.
That's a SAR 48 billion problem — and nobody has built a Saudi-native, clinically-backed solution to prevent it. Until now.

Slide 01 — The Problem
Three crises converging at the same moment
Obesity at 23.1%, premiums tripling, and no local solution. The corporate math is brutal.
1,500-employee company today:
─────────────────────────────────────
Annual insurance premiums: SAR 6.8M
Absenteeism (4.2 days avg): SAR 1.9M
Productivity loss (15%): SAR 3.4M
─────────────────────────────────────
Total cost of poor health: SAR 12.1M/year70% of this is PREVENTABLE.
That's SAR 8.5M that doesn't need to be spent.
Slide 02 — Why Now
Three tailwinds make 2026 the perfect moment
🏛️
Regulatory Push
Vision 2030 allocated SAR 180B to health sector transformation. Government is actively incentivizing what SARA does.
📈
Insurance Explosion
Health insurance market: SAR 42B (2024) → SAR 83B (2030). Insurers seeking wellness platforms to cut loss ratios.
🤖
Digital Health Surge
Digital health market: USD 4.4B → USD 15.3B by 2033 (13.2% CAGR). Wellness add-ons growing at 18.52% CAGR.
Slide 03 — Market Size
TAM → SAM → SOM
SAR 170B+
TAM Health + Insurance combined
SAR 9.4B
SAM by 2030 Corporate Wellness (12% CAGR)
SAR 99M
SOM Year 3 40 employers + 3 insurers
SARA Year 3 SOM breakdown:
40 employers x 2,000 employees x SAR 1,200/yr = SAR 96M
3 insurers x 15,000 members x SAR 300/yr = SAR 13.5M
────────────────────────────────────────────────
Total Year 3 ARR: SAR 99M (conservative)

Slide 05 — Traction & Validation
What we have today that de-risks the investment
Clinical

100+ walking groups = grassroots distribution
"We have the clinical co-founder, the methodology, the market model, the brand, and the community. What we're raising now is the capital to build the product and run the pilot that turns this into an undeniable case study."
Slide 06 — The Moat

Slide 07 — Business Model
Dual revenue channel = faster profitability
EMPLOYER CHANNEL
Essentials: SAR 50/employee/month
Pro: SAR 100/employee/month ← Target
Enterprise: SAR 150/employee/month
Annual contract: SAR 600K - 3.6M per client
INSURER CHANNEL
Model A — PMPY: SAR 200-400/member/year
Model B — Gain Share: SAR 100 base + 20% of verified savings
Model C — Bundle: SAR 150/member/year (wholesale)
One insurer deal = 10,000-50,000 members overnight
USD 791M market growing at 12% CAGR. Existing players (Virgin Pulse, Optum) have zero Saudi cultural adaptation. SARA is built from the inside out.
02
The co-founder is the moat
Dr. Alansari's 30-year research, 138K+ followers, WHO recognition, and institutional relationships are locked to SARA. No competitor can replicate this.
03
Dual revenue = faster profitability
Employer + insurer simultaneously. One insurer deal = more revenue than 10 employer deals. Insurer channel scales faster and stickier.
04
Vision 2030 tailwind is structural
Not a trend — a national policy shift. SAR 180B committed to health transformation. SARA surfs a wave the government is generating.
05
Attractive exit landscape
Regional acquirers (Bupa Arabia, Tawuniya, Aramco Medical) actively seeking preventive health platforms. Global wellness companies valued at billions.
