Disrupt, a MENA-based operator-led AI venture builder, has joined Hub71’s Initiate Programme to help early-stage founders develop and scale AI-native startups from Abu Dhabi.
The venture builder will establish an operating presence at Hub71, working with participating founders to validate ideas, build minimum viable products and reach product-market fit. Founders will also gain access to Hub71’s network of investors, corporates, government entities and ecosystem partners, with potential pathways to programmes such as Hub71’s Access Programme as their companies grow.
Disrupt said its model places experienced operators inside startups from the earliest stages, supporting venture creation across areas including fintech, cybersecurity, privacy and real assets. The company said it has previously built ventures including SQUATWOLF, Secure, Ridge, PureSquare and ZIGChain.
The partnership expands Disrupt’s regional presence within Hub71’s network of venture builders and adds operator-led support to the Initiate Programme for founders building from the UAE capital.
