About

What we believe

We believe that the world today is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. The future even more so. 

We believe we must embrace change with all its risks. Sometimes, this means being a first mover and at other times a fast follower. In all cases, it requires an exponential mindset.

We believe in the transformative potential of technology. To solve problems, to build nations, and to change lives.

We believe the advent of artificial intelligence represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create multigenerational impact.

We believe in the power of teams. Great ideas and great companies require closely-knit groups of passionate, hard-working people to bring them to life.

Areas of focus

Disrupt.com builds and backs/invests in the next generation of AI-driven ventures, driven by exceptional founders and enabled by Disrupt.com’s venture foundry/platform, enabling breakthrough innovations that solve scalable problems, shape industries and improve lives.

We are particularly interested in the following areas.

Artificial Intelligence

We are actively building and investing in AI—from machine learning to natural language processing to agentic solutions for industry-specific use cases. We are agnostic on the geographic market but focus on scalability and impact.

Cybersecurity

Leading with PureSquare, we focus on groundbreaking technologies that protect organizations and individuals alike–ensuring safety of data, networks and infrastructures.  

We are also exploring AI-powered digital security agents for SMB, enterprise, and government clients.

Web 3.0

Web 3.0 is reshaping the digital landscape with decentralized technologies, blockchain, and token economics. 

We actively co-invest in early-stage protocols adjacent to ZIGChain, our portfolio company with its own blockchain. We look for specialist development teams pioneering new digital ecosystems, from decentralized finance (DeFi) to NFTs and beyond.

Automotive

The automotive industry is poised for disruption. From electric vehicles (EVs) to autonomous driving technologies, we focus on transformative startups that are creating smarter, safer, and more sustainable turn-key solutions.

As part of our build portfolio, we are focused on transformative software implementation, accelerating any OEM’s journey towards fully autonomous vehicles.

Retail

We take a regional view on retail, as the GCC undergoes rapid growth in this sector. 

Beginning with our investment in Squatwolf, we focus on category defining companies that create exceptional consumer experiences for today’s savvy, digitally native consumers.
