Co-found your next
venture with us.

Not a fund. Not an accelerator. We're operators who build companies with you, using our own capital and market expertise.

An operator-led venture
builder. Built, not funded.

00:00

We are not a VC. No fund timelines, no IRR theatre, no
graduation day. We co-found, we operate alongside you,
and we stay in the trenches until the company wins.

For the ones who were
going to build anyway.

Some have founded before. Some are done waiting.
Others have sold, failed and rebuilt. We don’t look
for perfect CVs. We look for the drive to build and
the scars to prove it.

Two seats, one engine. Pick the one
that fits how you want to build.

You'd rather split a big cap table than own a small one.
You thrive in the trenches
You are a great storyteller
You ship and fail fast, with AI as your lever
You go all in and do whatever it takes.

If you read those five and felt seen, apply.
If you read them and negotiated, don't.

Everyone can build now.
The question is who wins.

AI made building cheap. The winners start with the
right to win. You inherit ours from day one.

Disrupt Stone

Our money, your runway

No fund. No LPs. No committees. $350K–$2M from our balance sheet, released as you prove each stage. Capital goes into building, not fundraising.

A co-founding team with founder DNA

You bring the founder energy, conviction and vision. We bring the build engine, team, distribution and capital. Founder DNA on both sides.

AI-native venture building, not AI features

AI is structural, not decorative. Agents are the default unit of work, with humans stepping in where they matter. Every venture compounds the skills and playbooks we build.

Distribution and access others can't buy

Millions of customers, regulatory licenses and 17 years of proprietary data. Your day one looks like year three elsewhere.

$100K+ in partner credits

AWS, OpenAI, Anthropic, and the rest of our partner stack. Experiment with AI without watching the meter.

Five clusters.
One rule: the right
to win compounds.

A cluster is where our right to win is real
from day one. Your company starts with its
distribution, data, and muscle, and makes the next venture stronger.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Most of our ventures start from our own validated pipeline inside the clusters. If you bring your own idea, we test it against the same framework. Either way you apply as a person, not a pitch.

A VC writes a cheque and watches. We co-found. Our operators work inside the venture, our balance sheet funds it, and our distribution feeds it. We only make money when the company works, same as you.

Not as an outside company. We fund what we co-found, from $350K at MVP stage up to $1-2M in Acceleration, as the venture proves itself. If you already have a startup, see below.

Yes, if it fits one of our clusters and you are open to building it the Disrupt way, with shared equity and an embedded team. Several of our founders folded an existing build into a venture with us.

Yes. EIRs and FIRs earn a salary plus equity from day one. The trade between salary and equity is the difference between the two tracks.

No. We build globally and our founders build from wherever they are. Dubai is home base, and you are always welcome, never required.

Equity depends on track and stage; we share the exact framework in the first conversation.

We will send you a link to walk us through your profile with Sally, our AI interviewer. We use AI in how we operate and also how we evaluate opportunities and people. We review each and every conversation personally and you will directly hear back from us.
