Wealth Grid · A house of expertise · Cairo & the Gulf

We get companies funded, digitised and growing — and build ventures that become companies.

Wealth Grid is an independent house of expertise based in Cairo, established in 2016, serving companies in Egypt and the Gulf. Our headline service is grant- and donor-funded advisory; around it sit finance and credit, full digital transformation and new revenue streams — on a hybrid fee of retainer plus success fee. Our Venture Studio builds ventures and runs Innovation-as-a-Service.

A house of expertise

Built to the standard of the best — sized for the region.

What we hold ourselves to on every mandate.

01

Strategy through execution

We stay past the report: systems built, files submitted, rounds and facilities closed.

02

A lender’s and investor’s eye

We read your file the way a credit committee, an investor or a programme reviewer will — before they do.

03

Senior people, every mandate

Leaders do the work, with a bench of specialists who led the function they advise on.

04

You never build alone

In the studio we co-build: thesis, model, team, introductions and capital-readiness.

Who are you?

Five ways in. Each ends with a clear next step.

SMEs, mid-caps & family groups

I need capital, a grant-funded advisor or a digital upgrade

Grant and DFI-funded advisory, credit files, feasibility, market entry, digital transformation and new revenue streams.

I want to partner with a studio venture

Pilot, distribute or co-design with a studio venture. A private conversation, not an offer of securities or an invitation to invest.

Proof

Work that closed, not slides that sat.

How we work

Short, disciplined engagements — sized for a founder’s runway and a board’s calendar.

1–2 weeks

Scope & diagnose

We agree the question, gather the data and tell you early if the answer is uncomfortable.

3–6 weeks

Design & build

Models, files, systems and plans built by senior people — with you in the room, not behind a curtain.

1 week

Challenge

We stress our own work as a credit committee, investor or programme reviewer would — then fix what breaks.

Ongoing

Deliver & hand over

We present to your board, bank, investor or programme — and stay until it closes or goes live.

Senior people on every mandate

Leaders do the work — no juniors learning on your file.

We design, build and deliver

Not paper advice: systems, models and files that work on day one — and that you own.

Bilingual by default

Every deliverable in Arabic and English, board-ready.

Start with one question.

In one meeting we will tell you whether we can help — and what it would take.
