performous
Dubai digital venture studio

We build digital businesses — and back the founders who build them.

Performous owns and operates ventures across e-commerce, marketing, SaaS and content — and invests its own capital in early-stage founders. We're not a typical investment company. We co-found.

We can walk as well as talk.

The people behind Performous have spent more than 20 years building and growing successful digital businesses — across both B2B and B2C. That operating experience is the difference.

Rather than allocate other people's money from a distance, we deploy our own capital and work shoulder-to-shoulder with founders: shaping the idea, building the product, growing the team and opening doors to further funding.

E-commerce

Online stores and marketplaces, optimised to convert and scale.

Digital marketing

Search, social, content and performance — growth that compounds.

Software (SaaS)

Recurring-revenue products built to scale globally.

Content publishing

Audiences, data and monetisation through content and domains.

Tell us what you're working on. If it's early-stage and digital, we'd love to talk — and we might just co-found it with you.
