STARTUP OVERVIEW
Rize, established in 2021 by Ibrahim Balilah and Mohammed AlFraihi, is on a mission to reshape the rental landscape in Saudi Arabia. With their pioneering “Rent Now..Pay Later” solution, they’re challenging the conventional rental norms by providing tenants with the flexibility to pay their rent in convenient monthly installments, rather than upfront lump sums. This innovative approach not only enhances financial flexibility for tenants but also addresses common pain points in the rental process, making renting more accessible and convenient for everyone involved.
