Support layers
Match support to the founder’s needs.
Start free. Add optional paid digital support when it helps (pricing to be announced). Physical incubation means booked, hands-on consulting slots at our Al Quoz office, by selection. Investment pathways are separate.

Selective physical incubation
Booked slots, by selection
A consulting office in Al Quoz, Dubai. Selected founders book slots and come in for hands-on, one-to-one support on their next step. It is not desk rental or coworking.
Suitability and terms are discussed before anyone takes part. Participation creates no obligation.
Separate investment pathways
Separate from Startup Roof
Readiness information for founders who choose to explore outside capital.
Any investment activity would sit with separate, appropriately licensed entities. No investment advice, no arranging of deals, no handling of money. Funding is never guaranteed.
The four layers are a proposed model being tested in the pilot. Pricing is to be announced. Funding is never guaranteed, and Startup Roof does not provide regulated investment services.
Programmes and services are subject to availability, eligibility and applicable terms.
