Founders

Submit your company.

Three steps and a deck. The form asks for what anyone assessing the company would need to see first, and nothing beyond it.

Before you start

What we look for.

  • One of ten areas

    AI & Machine Learning, Defense & Dual-Use, Energy, Space Technology, Healthcare, Deep Tech, Aerospace, Robotics, Advanced Manufacturing or Sustainability. A company outside those ten is not a fit, however good it is.

  • Technical depth in a hard domain

    Applied systems grounded in real operating data rather than general-purpose models. The advantage should be technical, and it should be difficult to copy.

  • A reason to exist in both markets

    The United States, UAE and MENA are rebuilding the same layers at the same time. We look for companies that can serve buyers on both sides of that corridor, not companies that would simply take capital from either. Companies are expected to establish a US or UAE entity, with IP structured accordingly.

  • A round with room for a real position

    Seed to growth. Stage matters less than whether the round leaves room for a position that earns a voice.

Confidentiality

Submitting your company does not create a confidential relationship.

What you send is handled with discretion and seen only by the people assessing it, but it is not confidential unless a confidentiality agreement is signed.

That agreement, an NDA, is signed before deep-dive diligence begins. Until then, do not include anything that needs protection.

The full position is set out in the terms of use.

If the form will not work for you, write to [email protected] instead.

How this works

Read this before you fill anything in.

Ten minutes of your time, spent here rather than on a form that was never going to fit.

Before you applyA short film from the partners, arriving shortly.
  1. What we back

    Companies in ten areas and no others, with technical depth in a hard domain: applied systems, real operating data, an advantage that is difficult to copy. Seed to growth.

  2. The corridor is a requirement, not a preference

    The company needs a real reason to operate across the United States, UAE and MENA — customers, manufacturing, regulation, talent or capital. A strong company built for one market alone is not a fit here, and the form will ask you to make that case in your own words.

  3. What happens after you submit

    The investment team reads the submission and the deck. An NDA is signed before deep-dive diligence begins, and every decision is made by the investment committee.

Structured feedback

Every company that applies receives structured feedback on what it sent, whether or not it is a fit.
