The funding was led by Partners for Growth (PFG), a San Francisco-based investment firm.

Noteworthy venture capital firms, including Nuwa Capital, Nordstar Partners, Global Founders Capital, Yuj Ventures, Whiteboard Capital, and VentureSouq, have previously backed Silkhaus.
Having raised $7.75 million in seed funding in 2022, marking one of the largest seed rounds in the GCC region’s history, Silkhaus is now gearing up for expansion into Saudi Arabia. Aahan Bhojani, Founder and CEO of Silkhaus, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership with the PFG team, highlighting the company’s impressive growth of 120% over the past 12 months.
