For founders
You have the science. We have the Kingdom.
Bring us a technology. Within two weeks you will know whether it can be built here — and if it can, we will co-found it with you.
01 — How it works
Four steps, two weeks to a decision.
1 · You submit. A short form and whatever material you already have. No deck template, no application window, no cohort.
2 · We test it against the Kingdom. Is there a Saudi health system that has this problem and can procure a solution to it? We answer that question with the clusters, not with a market report.
3 · You get a written answer in two weeks. Yes, no, or the specific condition under which it becomes yes. If it is no, you get the reason.
4 · We co-found. Entity, cap table, first capital, first hires. You run the company. We do the Kingdom.
02 — What we provide
Stated plainly, so you can hold us to it.
01 · RegulatoryA regulator down the hall
We are resident on the SFDA campus in Hittin. Pre-submission conversations happen in person and early, before your design freezes around something that will not clear.
02 · DemandA first customer, not a pilot
The Ministry of Health and the hospital clusters buy from vendors that are already localized. We build the entity so it can be bought from on day one.
03 · CapitalCapital before the round exists
First checks come off our own balance sheet at incorporation. Outside capital is invited at Series A and priced against a signed contract.
03 — Questions
The ones founders actually ask.
No. Several of our companies started as foreign technology and were localized through a Kingdom entity. What we require is that the company can be bought from here when it matters, which is a structuring question we handle at incorporation rather than a nationality test at the door.
A founder's stake, set at incorporation, sized to the work we are doing. We are explicit about it in the first conversation. It really depends on the deal — our investments vary from sweat to actual equity.
Yes, off our own balance sheet at incorporation. Outside capital is invited at Series A and priced against a signed contract rather than a projection.
It depends entirely on the device class and how early the conversation started. The variable that moves the timeline most is not the regulator; it is whether the design was frozen before anyone read the guidance. Being resident on the campus is how we control that variable.
No. If the only thing protecting your innovation is an NDA, you don't fit our business model.
You get the reason in writing within two weeks. If the reason is that the Kingdom is the wrong market for the technology, that is worth knowing before you spend a year finding out.
