From idea to investable.
A startup consultant who has watched ideas survive contact with the market. We pressure-test your model, write the business plan, shape the go-to-market and build the pitch investors actually read.
How we help founders
Idea validation
Honest, structured testing of your concept against real market demand before you spend a year and your savings on it.
Business plan
A complete, bankable business plan: model, market sizing, operations, financial projections and the assumptions behind them.
Go-to-market strategy
Positioning, pricing, channels and the first hundred customers: a launch sequence, not a wish list.
Market entry
Entering Lebanon, the Gulf or new international markets with the regulatory, cultural and competitive picture mapped.
Investor pitch
Pitch decks and financial narratives shaped for the questions investors will ask, with rehearsal before the room.
Growth advisory
Post-launch: unit economics, hiring sequence and the discipline to scale what works and kill what does not.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with pre-revenue startups?
Yes. Much of our work is at idea and pre-seed stage: validating the concept, writing the plan and preparing the first pitch.
Can you build my pitch deck?
Yes. We build the narrative, the deck and the financial story together, then rehearse you for investor questions.
Do you know the MENA market?
Yes. We are rooted in Lebanon with more than ten years across MENA, the Gulf and international markets, and we advise on market entry in both directions.
How long does a business plan take?
Typically two to four weeks depending on research depth and financial complexity. Deadlines for competitions or investors can be accommodated.
