For founders & scale-ups · Gulf ↔ global
Reach the Gulf, or take the Gulf to the world — with the decision-makers already mapped.
MyFounders.Club grew from one meeting in Riyadh in 2022 to 6,700+ founders across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman and Qatar. Through it — and the deeptech network at DeepTechX.ventures — I connect founders to capital, community and a real route to market.
Market entry fails on infrastructure, not ideas.
Most founders who stall in a new region don't have a bad product — they have no route to the people who run pilots, no local reputation, and no line into the free zones, grants and government programmes that de-risk the move. I've mapped those decision-makers in both directions: Gulf-to-global and global-to-Gulf. You get first-hand signals across emerging and global markets, and a warm path in.
What you plug into.
MyFounders.Club.
An industry-agnostic founder community, 6,700+ strong and Gulf-native — general help, peers, and the introductions that actually move a company forward.
DeepTechX.ventures.
A deeptech venture and community with an academia layer, for founders building at the frontier and the researchers commercialising alongside them.
Go-to-market, both ways.
Direct connections to free zones, government entities, programmes and grants — plus a pre-vetted partner network — through KH Group 7's consultancy.
Capital.
Where there's a fit, a route to angel and VC capital via the syndicate and a 3,000+ investor network.
Community lives at MyFounders.Club. Deeptech lives at DeepTechX.ventures.
Questions.
- I'm expanding into Saudi Arabia / the UAE. Where do I start?
- Start with a conversation about your target market and stage. From there I connect you to the relevant free zones, programmes and grants, and to founders in MyFounders.Club who've made the same move.
- I'm a Gulf founder going global. Can you help both ways?
- Yes — the network is built to run in both directions, into the UK, US, Canada, Europe, India, Central Asia and Australia, and back into the Gulf.
- Is MyFounders.Club industry-specific?
- No — MyFounders.Club is deliberately industry-agnostic. DeepTechX.ventures is the dedicated home for deeptech.
