The best startups don’t show up in forms.

They show up through trusted people.

We’re expanding the Brinc Scout Network across AI, fintech, biotech, and Web3 ecosystems.

If founders bring opportunities to you before they hit the market,you’re exactly what we’re looking for.

-Early access.
-Ecosystem credibility.
-Finder’s fees for successful referrals.

Fundraising conversations do not start with a pitch deck.

They start with how a company is structured, positioned, and understood by investors.

On May 14 at @InnovHubDIFC , hear directly from:
• Bashar Aboudoud- UpRound by Brinc
• Vera Futorjanski-Veritas Ventures Global
• Suhail Mirza- Al Tamimi & Co
• Haya Barqawi- Al Tamimi & Co

A practical session by @Ignyte_AE for founders covering investor expectations, legal structuring, fundraising conversations, and the mistakes that can create problems later.

If you are building, raising, or preparing for your next stage of growth, this conversation is built for you.

Venue: DIFC Innovation Hub
Date: 14 May 2026
Time: 12:30 PM- 1:30 PM

The best startups don’t apply. They’re introduced.

We’re expanding the Brinc Scout Network across fintech, biotech, AI & Web3.

If you hear about builders before they’re on anyone’s radar, we want you.

Early access. Recognition. Credibility. Successful Referral Fees.

More advice isn’t what founders need.

There’s already too much of it.
Threads. Playbooks. Opinions.

But when it comes to real decisions,
most founders are still left guessing.

That’s the gap.

So we’re opening this up.

Live AMA with Brinc.

No fluff. Just real answers on:
• Fundraising
• Scaling
• Market expansion

For those who join:
• Curated investor list
• 55 questions investors actually ask
• Access to Brinc’s ecosystem

Date: April 30
Time: 5pm GST

Ask what you want. Get direct answers.

Most events give you conversations.

Very few give you clarity.

Road to PlanX was built for the latter.

No panels. No fluff.

Just founders, operators, and investors getting into what actually matters, fundraising, growth, and real next steps.

In collaboration with the Entrepreneur, @InnovHubDIFC and @planxconf .

Here’s a glimpse inside 👇

We'll be back in May with a bigger room and sharper conversations! Details will be out soon!

Markets are uncertain. Capital is cautious. Fundraising timelines are stretching.

But startups don’t get to pause.

They still have to build, hire, ship and raise in the middle of all this.

On April 8, Levi Lewandowski and Ajinkya Tanpure (CEO CrossVal) will be joined by fellow operators, including Zohare H , to break down what actually matters when markets shift,

From financial preparedness to founder resilience, and what investors are really looking for right now.

Expect practical frameworks you can apply immediately and real conversations with founders navigating the same headwinds.

Venue: AstroLabs, JLT Dubai
Time: 5:00 – 6:30 PM GST

Excited to see @Surf_Liquid launching on Polygon 🚀

Surf is powered by our portfolio company zkCross Network, providing the cross-chain execution and automation infrastructure behind the product.

A strong example of an AI-powered DeFi savings protocol built on zkCross, showcasing real AI + DeFi use cases live in production 👏

[SurfLiquid 🌊 @Surf_Liquid]

We did not pick @0xPolygon randomly.

We picked the chain where stablecoins are already the default behaviour.

→ $3B+ stablecoins on-chain
→ $15B+ quarterly stablecoin transfers
→ Fast finality, low fees at retail scale

Surf 4.0 is launching on Polygon on Thursday.

With:
→ @MorphoLabs as the default lending venue
→ @lifiprotocol and @debridge for cross-chain routing

Same Surf model: user-owned vaults, non-custodial design, automation inside strict rules.

This is Surf 4.0’s first ecosystem launch and our first real distribution unlock.

Our CRO, @YAboudaoud will be speaking at Abu Dhabi Tech Tuesdays 🚀

He’ll be sharing insights from the frontlines of building and scaling ventures at Brinc, while connecting with founders, investors, and operators shaping what’s next.

Abu Dhabi’s tech scene is scaling fast backed by serious capital, long-term vision, and global ambition.

It’s quickly becoming a hub where founders don’t just build startups, they build category leaders.

If you’re in Abu Dhabi, it would be great to see you there.

Vaults shouldn’t be optional, they should be standard.

Big move from our portfolio company @GetSwarmed. With the new Vaults SDK, developers on OpenClaw can finally ditch plaintext env risks and secure keys the way they should’ve always been handled: encrypted, isolated, and production-ready.

This is how Web3 infra matures.🚀
