We invest in Seed and Pre-A founders creating the systems that power tomorrow.
From silicon-adjacent systems to runtimes, orchestration, and horizontal platforms – with selective bets on vertical AI where infrastructure is the moat – we believe the next wave of enduring companies will be built at the intersection of infrastructure, software, and AI.
We back founders who embody a rare combination of conviction, craft, and adaptability:
A unique version of the future, held with unwavering belief.
Ambition that matches the size of the opportunity.
Resilient enough to persist, flexible enough to reinvent.
Drawn to infrastructure and systems that create lasting moats.
Able to evolve from survival mode to scale mode, building organizations that outgrow them.
Companies are built not by solo heroes, but by teams that can survive the early chaos, grow into scale, and evolve together.
Builder-leaders who lead by shipping, not by slogans.
Leaders who attract and inspire world-class builders.
Not just company builders, but ecosystem builders.
Focused on real businesses with compounding revenues.
Always learning, unlearning, and growing, because the founders who evolve fastest will define the future.
Most funds provide capital. We provide capital and something rarer: the technical depth, networks, and ecosystems that turn conviction into durable companies.
Our unique strengths are the reasons founders choose us:
We are operators and entrepreneurs first, investors second. We know what it means to ship products, debug infrastructure, and scale teams. That technical and entrepreneurial DNA means we evaluate opportunities differently, and support founders as peers, not financiers.
We live in both worlds: North America and MENA. We are embedded with the decision-makers shaping AI infrastructure, from hyperscalers and silicon providers to sovereign stakeholders and enterprise buyers. This gives our founders early access to customers in MENA and liquidity pathways in North America.
Talent is the scarce resource in AI. We unlock access to world-class engineers from MENA and its diaspora, builders who are eager to work on global problems. Founders who partner with us can spin up technical teams faster and stronger than competitors.
Trust, sovereignty, and compliance are not optional in AI adoption. We have credibility with governments, regulators, and enterprises where this matters most. We help founders land in regulated environments where others can’t even get through the door.
We maintain trusted relationships with engineering and security leaders (first customers), and with upstream and downstream investors who share our thesis. This ensures our founders have access to design partners, pilots, and continuity of capital.
We back hard problems that compound into real businesses with recurring revenues and category-defining moats. Our patient capital is aligned with founders building companies designed to last.
When you partner with Propeller, you get more than a term sheet. You get:
→
Design partners in MENA and NA who turn pilots into paying customers.
→
Hands-on technical help with infra architecture, scaling, and compliance.
→

For founders building the backbone of AI, Propeller is not just capital — we’re your multiplier.
If you’re building infrastructure for the AI era, we’d love to hear from you.
