A founder-first venture studio.
Get Started Ventures is a Saudi-based global venture studio building category-defining companies through disciplined execution and long-term capital deployment. We don't pick winners from a deck — we sit beside founders from day zero and operate alongside them until the company stands on its own.
Our model How a studio differs from a fund
Operator capital.
We invest our own capital first, on day one. No deck required, no slide pageantry. Conviction comes from time spent with founders, not from secondary data.
We build alongside.
Each venture progresses through clearly defined phases with milestones, decision gates, and dedicated operators. Speed is not the enemy of substance — ad-hoc thinking is.
Founders never graduate.
Office hours, hiring help, intros to seed and Series A funds we co-invest with. The studio relationship lasts as long as the company does.
Four hubs, sixty countries.
Riyadh, New York, London, Singapore. The first five hires of every venture are sourced from a pre-vetted operator pool that spans GCC, North America, Europe, and APAC.
By the numbers The trajectory
Operating from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with a mandate for regional and international expansion, Get Started Ventures creates institutional-grade businesses that contribute to economic diversification, technological advancement, and regional competitiveness — aligned with Vision 2030 and the long-term horizons of sovereign capital.
The studio combines institutional capital discipline with a founder-first operating philosophy. Unlike traditional venture firms that invest in existing companies, the studio actively creates and co-builds businesses from inception through systematic validation, structured governance, and hands-on operational support.
We reject the false choice between speed and sustainability. Rigorous processes, strong governance, and disciplined execution enable faster, more durable value creation than shortcuts. Each venture inherits the studio's playbook, infrastructure, and network from its first hour.
