startupme is an Arabic-first platform with an Egyptian flavour that brings early-stage founders together with investors and with service providers — funders, law and accounting firms and virtual offices — in one place, with clear rules and no commission.
Founders spend months looking for the right investor, sending their pitch to people who don't invest in their sector or stage.
Investors receive a flood of unstructured pitches and must filter and dig before knowing whether an opportunity is worth their time.
And the procedures themselves — legal form, registration, tax and accounting — are scattered and unclear for first-timers.
Sign up for free, write your project summary and prepare a data room for your documents. Investors first see an anonymised teaser, and when someone requests an intro, you decide whether to accept. A procedures guide and AI assistants are there when you need them.
Start as a founderSign up for free and browse project teasers by sector and stage. If a project interests you, request an intro; once the founder accepts, sign the NDA and enter the data room. AI analysis tools are optional and paid with points.
Join as an investorFunders, law and accounting firms and virtual offices join on a fixed annual subscription. They appear under “Service providers” and in the execution steps that need them, receive “Ask a specialist” requests, and only see projects whose founders allowed it.
Join as a service providerWe take no percentage of any deal or funding — not from founders, investors or service providers. Our revenue comes only from subscriptions, points and fixed service-provider subscriptions.
Investor accounts are completely free; only the optional AI tools are paid with points.
Investors see an anonymised teaser of your project, and your private data is shown to no one until you accept their intro request. We don't sell your data or use advertising trackers.
Personal data is automatically removed before any request reaches an AI provider, and your project metrics never enter an investor's report without your explicit consent.
If you're selling or buying a digital project, the verified handover records every delivered item with a digital fingerprint and a certificate — the platform is a neutral technical registrar that holds no money.
The platform is not a party to any deal, holds no money and gives no investment advice. The decision is yours — consult specialists.
startupme is operated by OCTA Solution LLC (شركة حلول أوكتا ذ.م.م), an Egyptian software company with limited liability, based in Cairo and founded in 2021.
The platform is currently in beta, and some services may change before the public launch.
