About Us
Assisting entrepreneurs in crafting exceptional businesses, offering strategic pathways in the age of AI.
Our approach is focused on:
- Offering access to unique investment opportunities with the objective of maximizing value to investors, leveraging the expertise of the team and our access to a strong Middle East Network.
- Investing globally and providing capital to ventures with an Embedded Finance proposition in their value chain.
- Partnering with inspiring founders who challenge the status-quo with new technologies to revolutionize industries, we call them bold game changers.
Creating Opportunities through Strategic Partnerships:
- We partner with our ventures to unlock value creating opportunities through strategic partnerships, geographical expansion, and client acquisition with a focus on the Middle East.
- Our investments are global – primarily in the USA and the UK – targeting ventures looking for both early-stage and growth-stage funding with the ability to follow-on over time.
- We initiate most of our investments at around Series A/B; an approach which allows us to play a major role in the progress of the ventures and keeps us well-positioned to participate in follow-on rounds.

- Founders who aim to revolutionize their space by leveraging new state of the art technology.
