Co-Founder – VC Backed Tech Startup (UAE)
We are working with a well-funded, VC-backed tech startup looking for a strategic Co-Founder to help drive its next phase of growth and innovation. The business is expanding its presence in the UAE and is seeking an entrepreneurial leader with a background in technology, operations, or commercial strategy to join as a key figure in shaping its future.
The ideal candidate is someone who has built and operated a tech business in the UAE for at least two years, understands the challenges of scaling, and is now looking for the right strategic partner to unlock new growth opportunities. This is a rare opportunity to step into a well-capitalized environment with strong financial backing and the support of experienced investors.
Who should apply?
- Founders or executives of tech businesses in the UAE with at least two years of operational experience.
- Those looking for strategic partnerships, capital injection, or an exit opportunity.
- Entrepreneurs open to joining forces with a larger platform to scale their vision.
This opportunity is ideal for tech founders who may be at an inflection point and are considering options for their business’s future, whether it’s an acquisition, a merger, or a leadership role in a high-growth venture.
If this sounds like something worth exploring, we’d love to have a confidential discussion.
