Mayrock hosted an engaging panel hosted by Mohammed Islam at the first preLEAP event.

We are operators first, so we understand what it takes to build. Mayrock exists to build what endures - partnering with founders, investors and institutions to turn access, capital and strategy into commercial outcomes. Our philosophy carries in our name. “May” draws from the Arabic مَي, meaning water, which symbolises movement, patience and persistence. “Rock” represents foundation, strength and institutional permanence. Headquartered in Saudi Arabia, with deep roots across the Kingdom and the GCC, and teams in Riyadh, Dubai and Cairo, we work across AI, frontier technology and high-growth sectors with a long-term view. Across our three businesses Mayrock Ventures, Mayrock Capital and Mayrock Advisory, we help international companies localise capabilities in the Kingdom and back Saudi founders building from the region to global markets. We combine capital, commercialisation, strategic partnerships, board-level support and hands-on execution. We optimise for outcomes, not optics.
