Wa’ed Ventures Invests in Tenderd
Tenderd a Leader in Decarbonizing Industrial Operations with AI- powered Emissions Management Technology
Dhahran – Asdaf News:
Wa’ed Ventures, the Kingdom-based venture capital arm of Aramco, announced a strategic
investment in Tenderd, a startup specializing in AI-enabled technologies for real-time emissions
intelligence. The platform provides customers with AI-generated insights to increase asset
utilization and reduce emissions, targeting heavy industries such as construction and logistics.
Our investment in Tenderd reflects our commitment to addressing sustainability challenges
facing the industrial sector and providing solutions to decarbonize their operations,” said Fahad
Alidi, Managing Director at Wa’ed Ventures. “Tenderd brings transformational solutions to
traditional capital-intensive industries such as energy, construction, and logistics sector by
utilizing AI-generated insights to increase asset optimization and reduce emissions.”
Tenderd is backed by top investors, including Y Combinator, Peter Thiel, BECO Capital and
Dynamo Ventures. The investment from Wa’ed comes at a time when the world is demanding
more sustainable practices from heavy industries. Tenderd is serving industries that constitute
a large percentage of global GDP. These companies spend trillions annually operating capital
equipment, but a lack of operational intelligence inhibits these companies from functioning at
full utilization, resulting in high CO2 emissions and billions in costs each year.
Tenderd’s technology addresses these issues by providing companies with real-time insights to
make better operational decisions. Ultimately, this results in cost savings, better resource
utilization, and a smaller environmental footprint. Technologies offered by companies like
Tenderd are increasingly becoming necessary for companies operating in Saudi Arabia's new
economic landscape, with a paramount focus on efficiency and sustainability.
“With Wa’ed Ventures investment, we will be able to evolve industrial operations and lead the
charge towards a greener, more sustainable future,” said Tenderd’s CEO, Arjun Mohan.
“Companies can leverage the power of our technology, to help them take the right steps
toward increasing their operational intelligence and reducing their environmental footprint.”
