We are family owned & managed. Consequently, we are free to make long term decisions for the benefit of our clients. Additionally, our family’s wealth & reputation is inextricably linked to our performance ‘on the field’ which we believe provides exemplary alignment with our clients & partners.

Our HQ is in Dubai, UAE. We are a globally remote firm.

For those RAISING capital we offer 2 solutions:

• Accelerator - a 12 week structured program for emerging fund managers with all graduates offered seed and staking capital

• Advisory - a program of advice, investor connections & software for fund managers & fintechs

For those INVESTING we offer a scouting solution for professionally accredited investors seeking early stage access to a vetted & curated pipeline of world class fund management firms and fintechs

Join our advisory program & we will gather the information we need to approach a sample of our network to establish indicative demand for your fund or fintech.

We operate an accelerator for emerging funds with all graduates offered capital

We’re family owned

We’ve walked in the shoes of both our clients and investors

There’s over 30 years of capital raising experience here

We’re cost effective for early stage firms

We can unlock the UAE & wider GCC region

Our expectation is that 50-75% will graduate. Those who don’t quite make it will still be offered a financially valuable package of curated investor connections alongside the tools, skills & peers developed during the 12 week program.

Our judging team consider a range of soft & hard facts, attitudes, proactivity, tenacity & demeanours when reaching a verdict on a particular emerging fund manager. Please bear in mind that we do not take into account potential/back-test/model investment performance.

To maintain service standards, we curate 4 cohorts per year each with 20 seats. Competition for those seats is significant and we advise applying early via the link on our homepage.

We welcome applications from founders located in any of the G20 member countries. It is important to note that graduates must commit & contract to establishing a presence in UAE. These UAE footprints can sit alongside people, entities & structures located elsewhere.

Across 6 phases and 12 weeks:

Phase 1: Your story, narrative & marketing content

Phase 2: Specifying your fund/strategy, fees, terms, location, set up

Phase 3: Talent, organisation & operations

Phase 4: Sales & Marketing

Phase 5: LinkedIn Masterclass

Phase 6: Negotiating, presenting, demos & graduation

The majority of applicants are seasoned asset management professionals with decades of technical experience. We have designed the topics covered to be appropriate for senior professionals whilst recognising that many have not had a background in sales, marketing & distribution. Similarly, those transferring from large brands may not have been directly involved in operational or organisational matters. Consequently, we require all participants to complete the program in full to be considered for graduation.

Day 1 is action packed with each participant delivering a carefully prepared live & timed demo to the group & guests simulating the exact story narrative that they will use daily as they grow their firms. We have special guests stopping by for fireside chats with the Aucta team on mission critical topics. In the evening, we invite many of the UAE’s most influential professionals, investors & decision makers to join us for drinks providing all participants with a network that would otherwise take years to achieve.

Day 2 is a reward for all of us, time to let our hair down, we take all participants to experience some of the best authentic experiences in the UAE.

We help firms with their sales, marketing, organisation, operations, web builds, LinkedIn strategy, podcasts, photo-shoots, talent hiring & firing, digital marketing documents, budgets, fund design & jurisdiction. Many clients also bring problems requiring resolution.

We work with emerging fund managers in both private & public markets and across all asset classes. We also support fintechs that are innovating the asset management ecosystem.
