## About

Based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and founded in 2020, Barq operates as a delivery service (DaaS) platform that enables fast delivery for businesses operating in various sectors, including e-commerce, food, e-groceries, and more. The company was co-founded by Abdullah AlShalhoub (CEO) and Ahmad Habbal. In September 2026, BARQ raised USD 329.5 million in series A funding from Noon, Sohar International, and M2O.

Barq's platform utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize delivery routes, reducing congestion and ensuring fast and efficient shipping. It transforms retail outlets into micro-fulfillment centers, streamlining the delivery process. Orders are fulfilled by the nearest outlet and delivered to customers through Bullet Delivery. The company offers flexible delivery options for warehouses and fulfillment centers, ranging from 4 hours to same-day or next-day service. Restaurants and food aggregators get fast delivery within 30–45 minutes.

The company plans to use the September 2026 funding to improve operational efficiency, accelerate product development, invest in new financial and technology solutions, and expand into regional and international markets.
