Question 1

How does GulfPitch Investor Match work?

Accepted Answer

You answer six questions: where your company is, your stage, how much you are raising, your sector, your traction and whether you accept equity. The ten best fits among 294 funders on the GulfPitch map are ranked by fixed rules on the verified data of each programme: who may apply, stage, ticket size, sectors and status. No AI decides the ranking.

Question 2

Where does the data come from?

Accepted Answer

Every figure and condition is taken from the organisation's own website or application form and re-checked every month; each match shows the month it was last checked and links to the source.

Question 3

Is my pitch deck stored?

Accepted Answer

No. If you upload a deck, your browser opens it and sends only its text — or reduced page images when it has no text — once, to an AI reading service that suggests the six answers; you confirm or correct each one. The file never leaves your device and nothing from the reading is kept.

Question 4

Can founders outside the Gulf use it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Founders in the United States, Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa pick where they are and whether they would set up a company in the Gulf; the ranking then shows which programmes are open from abroad and which need a local entity.

Question 5

How do I know whether a funder is still active?

Accepted Answer

Each card shows the newest dated deal, cohort, call or fund news we found on the funder’s own website — month only, in its own words, with the link — and, where the funder publishes one, its decision time or cycle. A “Moving now” switch keeps only funders with dated activity in the last twelve months. Funders whose sites print no dates show no line; that is not a verdict on them.

Question 6

What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Nothing. Investor Match is free, needs no account, and the result can be saved as a PDF or shared as a link.
