In-Kingdom landing zones purpose-built for school and university workloads, from request to live.

Problem
Every school or university landing zone gets built from scratch, on a slow procurement cycle
- Standing up SIS, LMS, assessment, or ERP infrastructure for a new institution means a bespoke design each time, with no reusable reference architecture.
- Data residency and classification requirements are enforced by each institution's own discipline, not by the platform, so compliance varies site to site.
- Capacity planning happens reactively — utilization is invisible until a term-start spike overwhelms a workload nobody resized in advance.
- New zone requests move through email threads and ad hoc project plans instead of a tracked, repeatable provisioning pipeline.
Solution
Pre-validated, in-Kingdom landing zones provisioned against a tested reference architecture
Product
Sahabat Ma’rifa in action
How it works
From first touch to outcome
Request
An institution submits a workload request against a pre-validated reference architecture for its tier.
Provision
The landing zone is stood up in-Kingdom, sized to the institution’s expected load.
Test
The workload runs through acceptance testing before any student or staff traffic touches it.
Operate
Utilization, latency, and uptime are monitored continuously against SLA, visible to both the institution and platform team.
Market
Sizing the opportunity
- TAM — $980M. MENA sovereign education-sector cloud infrastructure market
- SAM — $110M. Saudi in-Kingdom landing-zone hosting for schools, districts & universities
- SOM — $8M. 3-year obtainable share via design-partner institution landing zones
Saudi Arabia's NDMO data-classification rules and the MoE's push to accredit every institution's digital infrastructure are turning sovereign hosting from a preference into a procurement requirement, and Vision 2030's education-modernization agenda is accelerating the number of institutions that need one standing up.
Business model
How Sahabat Ma’rifa makes money
Per-institution landing-zone subscription
Priced by workload tier (K-12, district, university) and provisioned capacity, billed monthly to the institution or its sponsoring ministry program.
SLA-tiered support plans
Recurring add-on for guaranteed response times and uptime commitments beyond the base landing-zone subscription.
Provisioning & migration fee
One-time fee to migrate an institution's existing workloads onto the reference architecture and complete acceptance testing.

Competition
Where we win
Our edge
- Only reference-architecture landing zone purpose-built for K-12 LMS, university ERP, and national assessment workloads, not a generic public-cloud education program.
- In-Kingdom hosting with no public-cloud control-plane dependency, satisfying NDMO classification requirements hyperscaler regions can't fully match.
- A tracked provisioning pipeline — requested, provisioning, testing, live — replaces the ad hoc project plan every institution currently builds alone.
- Founding team combines Saudi enterprise infrastructure delivery experience with hands-on cloud engineering.
Traction
Early validation, built for pilot readiness
- Full education-cloud product experience designed and built end-to-end: zone request, provisioning pipeline, workload dashboard, and utilization monitoring.
- Architecture pre-aligned to PDPL, MoE Standards, NDMO Classification, and ISO 27001.
- Actively selecting design-partner schools and universities for a first pilot cohort.
Go-to-market
Design-partner institutions first, then ministry-aligned expansion
- 1Land with 1-2 design-partner schools or universities standing up a first landing zone for a single workload, such as their LMS or ERP.
- 2Prove provisioning speed and uptime against the institution's prior infrastructure over a pilot term.
- 3Expand to additional institutions and districts through MoE-aligned infrastructure procurement once the reference architecture is proven.
Team
Built by operators, not just builders
The ask
Raising a seed round to reach first institution pilots
We're raising to fund reference-architecture hardening across additional workload tiers, provisioning-pipeline tooling, and the core infrastructure team through first-revenue pilot deployments.
