Disrupt.com, a Dubai-headquartered venture builder by the team behind Cloudways, which was acquired by Digital Ocean for $350 million in 2022, has announced a $100 million commitment to build and back AI-first technology ventures globally, bucking the trend of contracting venture capital funding.
Founded by two brothers and a cousin; Aaqib Gadit, Uzair Gadit, and Umair Gadit, Disrupt.com represents the founders’ reinvestment of capital following their successful $350 million exit, the largest in Pakistan’s tech sector to date
The firm has already deployed over $40 million across its portfolio, including four growth-stage companies built from idea stage, seven investments in early-stage companies, and an exit valued at $350 million.
Now, with a fresh $100 million commitment, Disrupt.com aims to further expand its portfolio. With a team of 650+ professionals, the firm provides not just capital but also technical and operational expertise to help startups scale.
Aaqib Gadit, the Founding Partner of Disrupt.com, commenting on the announcement, said, “Now is the time to be doubling down on our experience, financial investment and commitment required to help build the next wave of startups that will shape the future of the world as we know it.”
“With Web 3.0 in its infancy and AI storming into our lives, the opportunity to problem-solve and create businesses that will fit the needs of how people live and work is up for the taking. Our region can not only keep up but also lead the way. We are excited to see where this journey will take us,” he added.
Unlike traditional venture capital firms, Disrupt.com employs a three-pronged approach: building startups from scratch, co-building ventures alongside external founders, and making strategic investments in early-stage startups and VC funds. Through their “CoBuild” model, they function as fractional co-founders, providing dedicated engineering, go-to-market, and operations teams.
The firm’s investment targets five strategic sectors: artificial intelligence as a cross-cutting theme, plus cybersecurity, Web 3.0, automotive technology, and retail innovation. It primarily focuses on pre-seed to Series A stage startups with strong organic growth potential and clear paths to profitability.
Disrupt.com’s current portfolio of in-house ventures include ZigChain, a Web3.0 platform with 500,000+ users and hundreds of millions in managed assets; PureSquare, a cybersecurity venture; and UAE-homegrown fitness apparel brand Squatwolf. The firm has also invested in AI-focused startups including organizational transformation platform Agentnoon and climate action tool Ahya.
