Separate the investor location from the investment case
Searching for an investor in Saudi Arabia is a starting point, not a funding strategy. Explain whether your business operates locally, is entering the market or serves it through another model. State why a particular investor type is relevant, including sector experience, investment size and expected involvement. Do not rely on market size alone.
Build a request that can be discussed
State the amount sought, the entity receiving it and the proposed ownership structure. Distinguish new company capital from a shareholder sale. Explain prior financing and any constraints it creates. If the commercial plan depends on a partner, signed customer or future approval, identify the current status and the consequence of delay.
Write a proposal an investor can triage
Use a six-line company brief
State the customer problem and product, the markets currently served, dated revenue or other traction, the entity seeking capital, the amount and the next funded milestone. If the company has no Saudi revenue yet, say so and describe the evidence supporting entry. Use the same definitions and reporting date in the brief and deck. Contradictory numbers create questions before an investor can assess the actual opportunity.
Explain the destination of the capital
Show which portion funds operating growth, equipment or launch costs and whether any portion buys an existing shareholder’s interest. Describe any material existing obligations that affect cash availability. If the proposal assumes a new local partner or customer agreement, mark the dependency and its status. This enables a useful discussion of the funding request without presenting a market-entry ambition as an established operating business.
Your preparation checklist
- Operating status
- Label current operations, confirmed launch work and future plans separately.
- Funding purpose
- Link the request to costs, milestones and cash requirements.
- Commercial evidence
- Separate paid revenue, contracts, pilots and uncommitted pipeline.
- Investor involvement
- Explain the support sought without assuming it will be provided.
Before you submit
What is a useful first message to Cubin?
State what the company does, where it operates, its stage, the amount sought and the next milestone. Add a concise non-confidential PDF if available. Avoid a message that only names a large target market without explaining the business and its evidence.
How Cubin considers an opportunity
Cubin invests its own capital and works with an international network of private investors, family offices and investment firms. Our investment focus is USD 1–30 million, from angel and early-stage opportunities through growth and private equity. We assess business quality, financial performance, growth, valuation and risk. Direct investment and investor introductions are different outcomes; neither is guaranteed by submitting a pitch.
What to include in your pitch
Send a short company overview, location, sector, stage, amount sought and intended use of funds. Include revenue or traction where available, ownership information and the next milestone. Attach a non-confidential PDF pitch deck, up to 3 MB. The form is in English and does not require a member account. Your submission is sent to Cubin with the guide page you came from. Do not include sensitive customer data in your initial submission.
