You didn't set up in Dubai to build a local business.

You came for the capital access, the tax position, and the launchpad to global markets — and you want advisors who operate at that altitude. Most consultancies here are built to serve regional businesses. You're building something else.

Founded Partners is a North American advisory firm. We work with founder-led companies that happen to be based in the UAE and intend to compete globally — raising from international investors, building real governance ahead of scale, and making the decisions that separate companies that plateau from companies that compound.

We've sat in your chair.

Founded Partners was built by operators, not career consultants. Co-Founders Adam Miron and Matt Pierce have founded and scaled over 15 companies and exited 3 including one unicorn ($3B), and has raised more than a billion dollars in funding. We've made the mistakes, signed the term sheets, sat on the boards, and done the unglamorous execution work that advice-only firms have never had to do.

That's the difference you feel in the first conversation: we talk like a founder who's been through it, because we have.

Where we help

• Capital readiness and fundraising — preparing to raise from North American and international investors, and getting the story, the numbers, and the structure right before you do. → Capital Readiness & Fundraising

• Governance and scaling — building the board, the structure, and the operating discipline that fast-growing founder-led companies need before founder intuition runs out of road. → Governance & Scaling

• The honest case for a North American advisor — why globally-ambitious founders here increasingly choose international expertise over a local firm, and when each one actually makes sense. → Why Founders Choose a North American Advisor

Who we work with

Founder-led companies, typically post-traction, with global ambitions and a founder who wants a senior partner in the room — not a junior consultant and a slide deck. We engage directly and at a senior level. We price in USD. We don't pretend to be a local UAE consultancy, because that's not what you're hiring us for.

Start with a conversation.

The first call is a real working session, not a pitch. Bring your hardest current question — capital, governance, or growth — and we'll give you a direct read on it.
