Comprehensive technology services

Capital and investor relations

We shape rounds that match strategy, not vanity metrics, with capital planning, data rooms, board cadence, and investor updates that build trust and keep options open. The cap table and covenants align with growth plans so follow-on financing remains clean.

Deal sourcing and due diligence

We surface opportunities with real traction and test them against technical, market, and governance criteria, combining code review with reference checks and unit-economics validation. You receive a clear decision memo with risks, mitigations, and an integration path on a set timeline.

ESG by design

We embed ESG into product and operations rather than treating it as a report, covering material topics, data capture, policies, and assurance pathways aligned to regional expectations. Outputs map to leading frameworks such as GRI and IFRS sustainability standards, as well as local exchange guidance.

Go-to-market and regional entry

We help technology companies navigate MENA markets through strategic planning and operational support. Our regional expertise includes regulatory guidance, cultural adaptation, partnership development, and market positioning that accelerates successful market entry.

Operations and scale

We take programmes from first release to stable service with capacity planning, SRE practices, observability, cost control, and vendor governance that protect uptime and quality. Targets are explicit, with SLAs, MTTR, and cost to serve tracked against a living runbook.

Technology infrastructure and build

We design, ship, and operate secure platforms that fit your stack, architected for compliance and scale with audit evidence and runbooks from day one. Deployments support cloud, hybrid, or on-prem environments with standard identity and data controls.

Venture formation and co-ownership

We partner with entrepreneurs to build technology companies from the ground up. Our approach combines strategic capital with hands-on operational support, creating ventures that leverage our development expertise and regional market knowledge to achieve sustainable growth.
