This is a flexible expert network designed around meaningful collaboration rather than fixed commitments.

Experts can contribute through founder mentorship, office hours, technical and commercial guidance, strategic introductions, fundraising support, workshops, research, and venture studio collaborations.

Engagement may range from one-off advisory sessions to longer-term support for portfolio companies, depending on your expertise, interests, and availability. There is no minimum time commitment.

We believe innovation should be inclusive and globally distributed. Our team is built on openness, curiosity, and collaboration — with people from across the GCC, Africa, and Southeast Asia working together to build meaningful ventures.

All roles are based in Doha, Qatar, with flexible hybrid options and global travel opportunities (unless otherwise stated). We welcome talent from every background to join us in shaping the future of AI-native innovation.
