The bridge between East and West for sovereign AI.
We back the founders building artificial intelligence for the five billion, and we make them bigger with capital, technology, credits and scale-up discipline. Get into the Deal Room and get in front of the investors who fund the next round.
The position
Capital on one side. Five billion on the other. We sit in between.
Frontier AI is trained, owned and governed in a handful of Western cities. The markets that will use it most live in the East and the global South. From the DIFC we connect the two: institutional capital and discipline, applied to the founders closest to the demand.
Built elsewhere
The tools are not built for the way most of the world lives.
Sovereignty decides
A market that rents its intelligence does not own its future.
We invest in the seam
Founders across MENA, South Asia, Africa and SE Asia.
Curated, not 80/20
We back the few we believe will make it big, and compound them.
The Deal Room
Get seen by the investors who write the cheques.
Submit, pass the five-pass assessment, opt in, and your company sits in a curated room in front of Professional-Client investors actively hunting the winners. Being in the room is being seen.
For founders
The cheque is only the start. AWS and partner credits, engineering support, active mentoring, market access and the Academy cohort, all behind a place in the Deal Room.
For investors
A curated pipeline of companies built to win, not spray and pray. We compound our companies with technology, connections and discipline, and our investors profit in the next round.
Two doors
Build with us, or back the ones who do.
Founders get seen and supported. Investors get a curated pipeline and the upside of the companies we compound. The arc starts in Dubai.
