Our thesis
Here is exactly where we invest, at what stage, and what shows up alongside the capital.
Manifesto
Write the first cheque.
Take the first risk.
Stay for the long arc.
Not models for their own sake — AI wired into a workflow someone already pays to fix.
Payments, lending and Shariah-native products built for how the region actually moves money.
Grid, water, cooling and carbon — hard-tech for a part of the world that runs hot.
Space, robotics and the odd bet that looks ten years early — until it isn’t.
AED 0.5M – 2M
A founder, a prototype, and a conviction. We lead when the deck is still a Notion doc.
AED 2M – 8M
First revenue, first real hires. We lead or co-lead and take a board seat we actually use.
AED 8M – 25M
Proven engine, ready to scale. We double down on the winners already in orbit.
A recruiting bench for the first ten hires — the ones that make or break the company.
Warm intros to regulators, banks and the LPs who write the next round.
Story, positioning and a launch that lands. We help you be understood, not just funded.
The hard board call, the co-founder split, the layoff. We have survived each one.
We read every deck ourselves. Send it while it’s still rough — that’s exactly when we like it.
