Why YDK

WetakeyoufromGCClaunchplantolocalrevenue,fast.

Companies spend big on strategy then compromise on setup. We deliver strategy-aligned, tech-first formation and local support so your GTM actually succeeds.

Strategically aligned.

We design entity, licensing and hiring to match your GTM — not the other way round.

Predictable timelines.

Fixed milestones and a live dashboard so your launch dates are plan-able.

Fast local approvals.

Deep, on-the-ground relationships and procedural know-how to shorten approval cycles.

Transparent pricing.

Clear fixed fees, no surprises — so you can forecast cost to close.

How we help

Yourstrategic,tech-firston-the-groundoperations.

We combine hands-on strategic support, local operational capability and a technology-first approach — taking time to understand your business so we can advise the best route to market.

Our proprietary platform creates predictable timelines and a seamless experience: a client-centric dashboard, milestone tracker, secure document store and real-time status alerts.

Strategy & GTM mapping

We convert your market plan into a prioritized operational roadmap — entity design, licence sequencing and hiring milestones.

Benefit: Launch choices are deliberate and revenue-focused — legal steps unlock, not delay, your GTM.

Company set-up, licensing & VISAs

Fast, compliant incorporation, licence applications, bank introductions, registered offices, VISAs and work permits.

Benefit: Company structure and licences match your commercial model so you can operate immediately and your people are mobilised ready to execute.

License by proxy

Operate and invoice under our local licence while we manage paperwork, regulatory compliance, invoicing, local sponsorship and reporting end-to-end.

Benefit: Rapid revenue and market-testing capability — validate demand and win customers quickly without committing to a full local incorporation.

On-the-ground operations & hiring

Recruitment and onboarding of first hires, payroll configuration, vendor selection and office readiness.

Benefit: We hand over a functioning local team and ops stack so your business can run from day one.

DNA

Ledbyexperiencedoperators

YDK Launch was founded by three ex-venture operators and technologists who experienced firsthand how strategy gets wasted when setup and local support fail. We bring the same strategic rigor and hands-on execution we used to build our own businesses to help clients launch in the GCC — faster, cleaner, and with full visibility.

Together we've built 8 ventures, deployed $10M in capital and spent 30+ years across venture capital, technology, consulting and investment banking. That mix of strategy, operations and local networks means we can help you weigh trade-offs, fast-track approvals, and get your GTM live without compromising on local support.
