Ledbyexperiencedventureoperators
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.
