SeekMake, a pioneering Tunisian company, is poised to make a strategic investment of $539K to fuel its global expansion efforts.

The Tunisian construction technology startup, SeekMake, has successfully secured a substantial investment of $539,000, solidifying its ambitious plans for worldwide growth. Its strategic focus is on penetrating the German and French markets, and at the forefront of this funding initiative stands Lafayette Group, a distinguished European private equity firm renowned for its investments in significant manufacturing enterprises. Noteworthy is the fact that this investment marks Lafayette Group's inaugural foray into the domain of Tunisian startups.

Established by Adel Ayari and Zino Adidi in 2018, SeekMake has rapidly evolved into a dominant force, acting as a bridge between clients and construction/manufacturing enterprises spanning a remarkable 40 countries. This unique synergy expedites the conception and seamless delivery of fully realized products. The startup specializes in a diverse array of materials acclaimed for their durability, strength, and affordability.

In eight months, SeekMake has expanded from four to 30 specialists, demonstrating its proficiency in Distributed Manufacturing. The firm has obtained $539,000 in funding to grow into Tunisia, the United States, and Australia, with a clientele of 10,000 customers and manufacturers. In addition, an Estonian subsidiary is being established to help expansion ambitions.

Lafayette Group invested in SeekMake because of its outstanding digital manufacturing track record, which includes over 30,000 prototypes supplied, 72 manufacturer relationships, and a fabricator network spanning 40 countries. The company's expansion to 10,000 users and manufacturers demonstrates its long-term growth potential as well as its role as a manufacturing process mediator.

Central to the Tunisian construction tech startup's value proposition is its distinctive platform, which facilitates direct interaction between consumers and manufacturers, effectively mitigating costs and drastically expediting part creation. This innovative approach strongly resonated with Lafayette Group, particularly considering SeekMake's trajectory aligns seamlessly with the prevailing trends in the sector.
