The founding of Equivator was inspired by three transformative words: Saudi Vision 2030. This strategic initiative guided our mission and aligned us with Saudi Arabia's ambitious future goals. Thanks to numerous regulatory reforms and programs spearheaded by the Kingdom, such as the National Transformation Program (NTP), the establishment of the Saudi Venture Capital Company (SVC) to foster the technology startup ecosystem, and the launch of the Saudi Fintech Initiative, we have found ourselves on fertile ground for investment.
We Believe
in the Power of Diversification
The alternative assets space allows us to tap into sectors with enormous growth potential, such as the booming technology industry.
This strategic decision not only enables us to navigate market fluctuations with greater skill but also places us at the forefront of innovation in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
In 2022, Equivator was founded by three ambitious individuals: an entrepreneur, a business manager, and a private equity expert. Together, they brought over 15 years of collective experience in finance and banking, public relations, and business administration to lay the foundation of Equivator.
By early 2023, Equivator was legally established with a dedicated team of seven professionals, each excelling in operations, management, strategic planning, relationship-building, opportunity creation, global consultant communication, marketing, and brand positioning.
By mid-2023, we made our first investment and expanded our team to 30 world-class members. Our first investment project, Uplines Super App, is a Saudi digital platform that offers users a unique shopping experience by allowing them to earn points from a diverse range of brands. This loyalty system, built on referrals and social investment, quickly garnered over 30,000 users and 50 vendors within two months. Following Uplines, we initiated our second investment, BuildMate. This visionary platform aims to revolutionize the construction technology industry in KSA by bridging the gap between contractors and suppliers. BuildMate focuses on connectivity, database creation, and marketplace facilitation to benefit all stakeholders in the construction sector.
At the beginning of 2024, we conducted due diligence on three new investments and have ten more in the screening stage. Our meticulous approach ensures that each investment aligns with our investment focus strategy and industry criteria. Equivator's journey has been marked by strategic investments and continuous growth. As we move forward, we remain committed to being investors’ and entrepreneurs’ gateway to the Saudi investment market, by providing the expertise, resources, and connections to help them succeed in one of the world's most dynamic regions.
