The Risk of Getting It Wrong

Saudi Arabia is not a plug-and-play expansion market.

Wrong regulatory sequencing delays entry by months and costs capital you cannot recover

Misaligned GTM strategies fail to convert Saudi buyers — regardless of product quality

Localisation errors damage traction before relationships exist to repair them

Weak positioning limits access to institutional investors and strategic partners

Founders in our ecosystem don't make these mistakes. They enter with the playbook already in hand.

The 20-Startup Cohort · By Invitation Only

20 startups. One Kingdom.
Coming 2026.

Each year, Stellar Ventures selects 20 founders for a fully structured, on-the-ground KSA market deployment. This is not a programme you register for — it is an invitation extended to founders who are ready. Investor introductions, regulatory navigation, LEAP 2026 access, and direct operator support await the selected cohort.

Ecosystem members are the first to know when the window opens. There is no public announcement. There is no second intake.

Applications closeMarch 28, 2026
Cohort announcedApril 1, 2026
LEAP 2026April 13–16, Riyadh

The 20 selected startups receive:

In-person founder roundtables with Saudi ecosystem stakeholders

Curated meetings with investors, partners, and regulators

Structured LEAP preparation and on-ground networking (April 13–16, Riyadh)

Operational guidance for regulatory setup and market entry execution

Ecosystem members receive first — and only — consideration.

Selection CriteriaWhat we look for in cohort founders — shared privately with ecosystem members

We do not advise on the Kingdom.
We operate inside it.

Stellar Ventures has structured KSA market entry for over 20 startups — across fintech, healthtech, and consumer technology. We hold active family office relationships and navigate the regulatory landscape on the ground, not from a distance.

Our founder brings institutional investment banking discipline from Bank of China. The cohort is built on the same rigour — capital allocation thinking applied to founder selection.

Built on real execution, not theory.

Every session in this series is drawn from operational experience inside the Kingdom — regulatory navigation, GTM execution, investor introductions, and team formation. Not market reports. Not desk research.

The webinar series is the access point. The cohort is the outcome. Ecosystem members get both.

The objective is clear.
Replace uncertainty with structure.
