A hands-on program for serious investors across MENA — go from learning the ropes to co-leading and closing your first real syndicate: a real deal, real LPs, a real SPV, a real close.
6–10 founding seats · Apply → 20-minute interview → admission
A closed syndicate and your first investment as a co-lead — plus the playbook, templates, and confidence to keep leading.
Not a case study. Your own syndicate — sourced, screened, structured, raised, and closed, with a live SPV and real LPs.
The frameworks, templates, and judgment to run your next syndicate — and a partner to keep growing with.
Deal flow, peers, and co-investors across MENA — a community to keep building in after your first close.
Twelve weeks of guided, weekly working sessions built around your real deal — not lectures. You bring the raw materials; we turn them into a closed syndicate.
Your live deal, memo, and raise reviewed in the room — with peer feedback and real accountability.
Direct 1:1s at the four moments that matter: deal selection, memo, raise strategy, and pre-close.
I'm in the room on your first syndicate — sharing the judgment, structuring, and decisions, shoulder to shoulder.
Have deals but no investor base — or the reverse? We build the missing piece with a concrete strategy, within the program and beyond it if your progress calls for it.
Set up in the right jurisdiction per deal — Singapore, UK, Cayman, or Delaware — via a vetted partner platform.
A small peer pod for support between sessions, plus guest sessions with an SPV platform partner and seasoned operators.
Seats are genuinely capped at 6–10 leads. A gate at the deal stage filters for committed people with a real deal — so you only step into the high-touch phase once you're ready.
This isn't a course you pass and leave. I co-lead your first deal with you — so I'm invested in you actually closing, not just finishing. Our interests are aligned from day one.

Through Syndicate Lab he does the thing he believes the region most needs: he doesn't just teach syndicates — he co-leads your first deal with you, bringing judgment, structure, and honest guidance to your side of the table.
"Learn, network, grow."
No — but you do need to be able to bring, or build toward, a network of investors who could back a deal, or strong access to deals worth backing.
No. Many leads start here. What you do need is commitment, coachability, and at least a basic familiarity with financials.
It depends on what you bring. Candidates with an active investor network or strong deal access can close within the 12-week program — sometimes sooner. If you need more time, you keep going with support until you close. We set the rhythm; your resources set the speed.
That's normal — most people start with one side, not both. If you have deals but no investor base, or the reverse, we build the missing piece together with a concrete strategy, during the program and beyond it if your progress warrants.
No. This is real venture investing — returns are never guaranteed, and you'll learn to manage that risk properly.
You stay part of the community — deal flow, peers, and the option to keep collaborating with me on future syndicates as you grow.
