Saudi Arabia-based Taawoni, an edtech startup focused on cooperative training and professional development, has closed a $1.6 million investment round, led by M Capital, with additional participation from a group of regional investors. The fresh funding will be used to accelerate growth and support the company’s geographic and technological expansion.
Founded with the mission of enhancing talent readiness in the labor market, Taawoni automates Co-op training programs that connect universities with private and public sector employers. The platform handles the end-to-end process — from onboarding and placement to performance tracking and evaluation.
Scaling a Platform That Trains Thousands
In addition to its Co-op automation system, Taawoni offers an AI-powered internal Learning & Mentorship Platform (LMP) designed to help organizations upskill their workforce and facilitate continuous professional development. The platform is tailored for scalability across industries and adaptable to various organizational structures.
According to the company’s website, Taawoni has already trained 34,000 individuals through partnerships with over 800 companies and 14 academic institutions. The startup aims to build on this momentum with its newly secured funding, targeting deeper integration into enterprise learning ecosystems.
