Programmes

Two routes. One ecosystem.

Route A · Insurer-led

Cohort acceleration

When a regional insurer commissions a mandate, we match cohort insurtechs to their strategic agenda. The pilot is contractual; co-investment and equity participation are on the table.

Insurer mandate matched cohort signed pilot in 60–90 days.
The 10-week framework

Four phases. Ten weeks.
One signed LOI.

01 Weeks 1–2

Apply to GTM Programme

Application, screening, and onboarding. We assess fit, confirm your wedge, and align on objectives before the work begins.

Product-market fit assessment, regulatory positioning, and a refined MENA narrative — paired with a curated shortlist of insurers, brokers, and distribution partners.

03 Weeks 6–8

Pilot framing & LOI

Pilot scopes drafted with the partner. Commercial terms shaped, regulatory pathway confirmed, and LOI prepared for signature.

04 Weeks 9–10

LOI & pilot kick-off

Signed LOI with at least one anchor partner and the pilot live in-market. Onward route into the cohort or the Corridor for scale.

Proof

When we introduce you, they pick up the phone.

Our introductions land because they're built on years of institutional partnerships, regulator relationships, and commercial anchors across the region — not on a list assembled the day you joined.
