Ecosystem Deployment
Bahrain Setup, Executing our KBE-FDI Initiatives
Mobilizing to set up our VC-E&ED subsidiaries in Bahrain, with a shared support unit at Silicon Valley, operating an integrated ecosystem for training and backing founders in building STEM-driven companies - forging GCC-US venture community collaborations.
Opportunity & Challenges
Advocating a KBE model in a rentier economy
We are committed to expanding our Silicon Valley innovation economy to KBE-aspiring regions – bridging our digital-divide into STEM commercialization collaborations. We deploy our holistic VC-E&ED ecosystem in a partner-region, investing with their financial and development-mission community in backing innovators in building companies that spur transformation in both regions.
Primed the GCC region:
In preparing the GCC market over 2 decades, we have transcended all challenges that we set out to face in initiating a Silicon Valley-linked, VC industry and innovation community in the region, with all E&ED programs and platforms for backing GCC-US founding-teams in building gamechangers.
We have fostered a regionwide appreciation of how VC will shape their future economy and how STEM venture partnerships will morph their oil-based rentier-economy into a KBE model, driving their strides. We have also advocated our unique mortgage banking model, with credit recycling, warehousing and distribution ecosystem – culminating our dual VC-MB business units for backing founders in building both technology and real property enterprises.
Today, their burgeoning startup community, with $400B+ sovereign capital backing prompted by their Vision 2030 program, validate our effort and the region’s $3.8T SOM metrics in VC-MB verticals – marking an opportune time to set up and execute our FDI plan as herein put forth. Central Bank of Bahrain, the region’s leading regulator had long perceived and welcomed our initiative – citing its myriad benefits to all.
In deployment, we are mobilizing to set up in Bahrain, initially our VC platforms as profiled, setting our infrastructure for the processes of venture 3-Ds (discovery, development, delivery); with founder training and startup validation and funding firms, all operating as an integrated center for training and backing founders in building and delivering industry-defining companies.
Post VC, we will set up our MB and capital underwriting ecosystem, culminating our dual VC-MB business units for partnering with GCC entrepreneurs in building both technology and real-property (IP-RP) assets in multiple sectors.
With VC-MB-IB combined operations, we will team up with the GCC financial and innovation community including SWFs in executing our FDI plans as herein described, aiming superior ROI with sustained jobs and value chain opportunities for innovators, investors, developers, and service-providers – all as stakeholders.
