Mintiply Capital, a leading advisory and investment firm in the GCC known for its strategic expertise in capital markets and alternative investments, is pleased to announce an exclusive partnership with Fuel Venture Capital, a prominent U.S.-based venture capital firm. Together, the firms aim to strengthen their presence in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, providing significant support for startups and unlocking opportunities for growth and exits.
Through this partnership, Mintiply and Fuel will harness the power of a dedicated Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) that targets high-potential startups across the GCC. The SPV will focus on early-stage companies and acquiring established startups to enhance the region’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and promote sustainable economic growth. This collaborative structure allows both firms to strategically deploy capital while leveraging each other’s strengths and networks to achieve a lasting impact.

Together, we are committed to fostering innovation, driving job creation, and supporting the economic future of the GCC.”
Fuel Venture Capital brings substantial experience and resources to the partnership, with substantial assets under management (AUM). Supported by hundreds of global family offices, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, and institutional investors as limited partners, Fuel Venture Capital is uniquely positioned to catalyze transformative growth. With over 80 years of combined experience in venture funding, Fuel has supported creating thousands of jobs across its portfolio companies, representing founders from 32 countries and operating in diverse industries. Their hands-on approach and extensive international network are valuable to the partnership with Mintiply Capital.
Mintiply Capital’s investment strategy includes a dual approach. In addition to its role as a trusted advisor in startup scaling and mergers and acquisitions (M&A), Mintiply’s investment arm actively deploys capital in regional and international equities, focusing on emerging startups. The firm’s dedication to the GCC region is demonstrated through various vehicles and other investment strategies that bring sustainable value to startups at all stages of development. This partnership with Fuel aligns with Mintiply’s long-term commitment to empowering GCC startups by providing them access to critical capital and strategic guidance from seasoned industry professionals.
For Mintiply Capital, this partnership is also about creating a regional pipeline of startups that can achieve successful exits, attract further investment, and grow internationally. By working with Fuel Venture Capital, Mintiply gains access to a broader pool of resources and a proven track record of success in scaling high-growth companies.
