We identify missing vital decision assets in MENA and make them exist for your action

Know about us for your due diligence.


Who we are

If you're a tech fund manager in MENA, you have no clue what size your fund should be or what success rates to expect. So you guess based on US market data.
If you're a policymaker, you have no clue how many active funds or startups are in your market. You have budget for initiatives, you don't know what this sector needs, you end up running hackathons. You want a list of your top 100 tech, you end up with scraps.
This is the visibility gap.

Visibility Gap

in specific
economic sectors
in Dubai and MENA

No useful data

If data exists, insights don't. Data is waste.

Always from square zero

New projects have to start from scratch every time. Costly, slow to market, infinite double work.

Good decision
is lucky

Good decisions have but random chance, rarely repeatable.

How we Work

Our methodology

Clearworld Model is our main IP. It is built to treat extreme noise in markets that have low volume, low cap and limited information due to a tendency among market participants not to disclose full details.

With Clearworld Model we were able to predict the date of when Saudi's first unicorn companies will be born 5 months before it happened.

Our 3 Guiding Principles

Insight With Uncompromising Quality

Maximize Data-Informed Decisions

We are the only firm in MENA that maximizes data-informedness to provide decision insight and management support.

Scientific Method

We take inspiration from the standard scientific method to ensure quality and reliability.

100% Completion Rate

To maintain our 100% completion rate record, we follow a Japanese-inspired mix of strict work ethic and taking only the engagements we are certain we can deliver.

Surgical, High-Speed Execution

Momentum First

Momentum is most crucial in new initiatives. In pilot projects, we identify short-term targets to capture in quick succession. We then use the momentum to set the track for longer term objectives.

Extremely Fast Time To Market

All of our pilot projects are designed with a well-contained surgical scope with quantifiable objectives and economic substance.

Clarity Is A Pure Value

No 200-page filler material

Insight's true value is in the decision you make using it, and our work makes sure you can see that true value clearly and quickly.

No 50-axis inexecutable strategy decks

Insight that cannot be actioned is a form of waste that we strictly avoid.

Not a single word that lacks substance

We avoid buzzwords and lengthy re-stating of the obvious.

No fleeting trends

Economic substance must be articulated clearly for anything to have true value.

What we Will Be

Inspire a generation of nation builders who possess the highest standards of data-informed decision-making and highest speed of execution in the face of any uncertainty.

MENA is our home.
Building our home is not a gig.
