About Soor

Soor is an insurtech company based in Manama, Bahrain, that runs a digital platform where users compare insurance quotes from several insurers and buy a policy within a single app. It operates under a licence from the Central Bank of Bahrain with motor insurance as the main example given in press coverage.

According to TechScoop, Soor was founded in 2024 by Mahmood Dhaif and Qasim Albaqali. Coverage of its August 2026 funding describes Dhaif as the founder, with more than ten years of experience across corporate and startup environments, and Albaqali as a co-founder and software engineering leader with expertise in software architecture and engineering management. Dhaif has said the platform is meant to help customers find a policy that matches their needs in under a minute and to let them buy online, receive documents and renew on time.

The app shows motor quotes from GIG (BKIC), Solidarity, SNIC, Arabia Insurance, Gulf Union, Medgulf Takaful, Liva, Damana and New India Assurance, according to Beinsure. For insurers, the platform serves as a digital channel for reaching and serving customers.

Soor announced a pre-seed investment from Spring in August 2026; TradeArabia dated its report 6 August 2026. The amount was not disclosed. Spring is a venture studio in Bahrain, created by consolidating Spring Venture Services and Spring Studios, and is backed by Salica Investments, Faraday Investments and the Al Waha Fund of Funds. Zainab Khamis, Spring's managing director, said insurance has long been fragmented and hard to navigate and that Soor offers a clear answer. Soor said it will use the funds to develop the platform, add insurer partnerships, improve the user experience and grow in Bahrain, and it is exploring expansion beyond Bahrain.
