Madinah‑based coffee subscription platform BOUK has raised $400,000 in a pre‑seed round from angel investors, just days after its official launch.
Founded by Muhannad Al‑Badrani and Sulaiman Al‑Assaf, BOUK offers a unified monthly subscription that gives users discounts at partner coffee shops. The app is designed to provide a smarter, more economical alternative to daily coffee purchases while helping cafés build a loyal subscriber base and boost sales.
Initially launched in Madinah, BOUK plans to use the funding to expand to Riyadh, Jeddah, and the Eastern Province. The company will also invest in technology development, grow its network of partner cafés, and roll out new benefits for subscribers.
“Our first pre‑seed investment round was closed within days of launch, reflecting strong investor confidence in our model,” said co‑founder and CEO Muhannad Al‑Badrani. “Book is an innovative subscription app offering exclusive benefits and discounts at Saudi cafés, giving users a more economical alternative to daily payments. It grew out of a real‑life experiment to solve a simple but recurring problem — not having cash when you need it.”
The founders see BOUK aligning closely with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals, supporting digital transformation and entrepreneurship in the retail and services sectors. Strategic partnerships and further geographic expansion are planned for the months ahead.
