🚀 Dubai founders, ready to pitch live?
10 founders get 60 seconds on stage. The room votes. The winner is named Founder of the Night and takes 3 months of our Residency, free.

The room is capped, and the price rises on the day.
🌟 Guest of the Month: the UAE's No. 1 early-stage VC
Elliott Denham, Head of Programs at Oraseya Capital. Watch the podcast first:
🥇 More startup deals than any other investor in the UAE in 2024, 2025 and the first half of 2026 (MAGNiTT)
💰 AED 1 billion fund
🎯 Elliott runs SANDBOX, Oraseya's way in for pre-seed and seed startups: $150,000 for each startup picked
One SANDBOX round drew 1,500+ applications. 7 got funded. This is your chance to ask Elliott, face to face, what gets a startup in.
🗓️ How it runs
🌐 Morning, online (11:30 AM to 12:40 PM): meet up to 9 founders 1-on-1 on video. Optional, but you walk in already knowing faces.
🎲 The draw: tick the pitch box when you book (tech startups only). We pick 10 at random in the morning session.
🍹 Evening, in person: the 10 pitches, scored 1 to 10 by the room, and a live Q&A with Elliott. Then the mixer.
✅ Your ticket: both sessions, a shot at the stage, your vote, the Q&A with Elliott, the founders-only WhatsApp group, and a welcome drink and popcorn.
