Make your UAE operating structure clear
State where the company is incorporated, where it operates and which entity is raising capital. If the group includes multiple entities or free-zone and mainland operations, provide a simple ownership chart. Explain how investment proceeds will reach the operating business.
Separate local traction from regional ambition
Show current UAE customers, revenue, margins and concentration separately from expansion forecasts. If Saudi Arabia or other GCC markets are part of the plan, explain customer demand, local execution requirements and the budget for entry. Present assumptions as assumptions.
Prepare an investor-ready introduction
A useful first submission explains the product, customer, business model, current stage and amount sought. Cubin considers opportunities across Technology & AI, Fintech & Financial Services, Healthcare & Life Sciences and Real Estate. Explain the specific milestone the proposed investment will unlock.
Build a UAE evidence table investors can follow
Use one reporting period and identify the entity behind every number. A UAE contracting entity, a regional customer base and a plan to expand into another country are different facts.
If the fundraising entity does not hold key customer contracts or intellectual property, explain the arrangement rather than presenting the group as a single undifferentiated company. Use non-confidential summaries for the initial introduction; detailed customer or ownership documents can follow through an appropriate diligence process.
Next, calculate the funding gap.
For family-office capital, check family-office mandate fit.
For an established business, prepare for a private-equity discussion.
Questions before submitting your company
Should we combine UAE results with GCC projections?
Show both, but keep them separate. A compact country-by-country view should label existing revenue, contracted revenue and forecast revenue. That makes it possible to assess the UAE business independently of the expansion plan.
What belongs in the first deck?
Explain the problem, product, customer, business model, traction, competition, team, financial position and funding request. Use a short non-confidential PDF. Keep detailed agreements and sensitive customer records for a later discussion about what is needed and how it should be shared.
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.
