HQ Selection
One Region. One Home.
Sarmad Ventures is selecting a single GCC country to host its regional headquarters, through a structured, criteria-based process.
Criteria
Regulatory speed and licensing
Life-sciences infrastructure
Academic partnerships
Relocation/visa support
Global connectivity
Local Capacity Commitment
The winning host government gains more than an HQ address. Sarmad Ventures commits to real capacity-building as part of its regional headquarters.
Talent Development
Fellowships and training placing local professionals into longevity venture and biotech roles.
Academic Partnerships
Joint research programs and sponsored fellowships with GCC universities and research institutes.
Co-Investments
Partnering with existing local venture capital firms rather than competing with them.
Knowledge Transfer
Bringing global scientific and commercial expertise to train local teams, not just capital.
This process is non-financial. It evaluates infrastructure and ecosystem readiness, not capital commitments.
Our Managing Partner and CEO and core operating team will be based at the selected headquarters. This determines where we physically build, not just where we register.
