A UAE-based venture builder, Disrupt.Com has announced a $ 100 million investment to support technology ventures worldwide.
According to the reports, Disrupt.Com has been funded jointly by three Pakistanis Aaquib Gadit, Uzair Gadit, and Umair Gadit.
The ambitious move underscores the firm’s focus on fostering innovation in technology driven sectors like AI (Artificial Intelligence) cyber security, Web 3.0, automotive technology, and retail innovation.
The announced investment has also positioned Disrupt.com as a key player in the emerging global technology ecosystem, with a particular emphasis on underserved markets such as MENA and Pakistan.
Disrupt.com founders originally hail from Pakistan and have a deep-rooted entrepreneurial background. They had first made their mark in the technology through Gaditek which they had founded in Karachi way back in 2008. They sold Cloudways, a Malta-based cloud hosting platform to US-listed Digital Ocean Holdings for $ 350 million, marking one of the biggest exits in Pakistan.
The $ 100 million investment from Disrupt.com will target early-stage startups that focus on AI, cyber security, Web 3.0, automotive technology and retail innovation. The firm was particularly interested in businesses which were at the pre-seed to Series A stage showing strong organic growth potential and clear paths to profitability. This aligns with the firm’s mission to help create sustainable businesses that will drive the next wave of innovation in these industries.
With a network of over 650 professionals, including many in Pakistan, the firm plans to offer entrepreneurs access to a wealth of expertise across business strategy , technology development, and marketing.
