Cost
AI collapses infrastructure cost.
Builders can now reach markets once reserved for incumbents.
Pre-seed · MENA + North America
Capital.
Then traction.
Capital and go-to-market firepower for AI founders in fintech and BI.
01 · Thesis
Three things
we believe.
Founders
Global founders. Operating support.
We back exceptional teams wherever they build, then work beside them.
Distribution
Distribution wins.
Most pre-seed funds cannot help with it. We built our edge around exactly this.
02 · The edge
The fund is anchored by Vanguard Services, a Beirut-based sales outsourcing and go-to-market company.
We invest.
Then we sell for you.
Portfolio companies get hands-on sales execution, SDR capacity, and go-to-market systems from day one. Not just capital.

Founders who can build.
Clear wedge
A sharp entry into a large market.
