Investor& strategic partner.

I join a company to set its direction and build the system that runs without me. I do not compete on the size of the cheque, but on the quality of the choice.

How I think

My approach to investingand partnerships.

To me, investing is not a deal to be closed but a relationship that begins with one question: do I understand this person, and do I trust them? What follows is the way I decide, as it is, without polish.

Three questions before any decision

I ask them in the same order every time, and I do not move to the next until I am at ease with the answer.

  1. Who leads?I read the person before the numbers: their integrity, their competence, and whether they can delegate.
  2. What is the real ceiling?I look at the business from more than one angle, and I never reduce the decision to a single figure.
  3. Does it work without me?I do not join what needs me to run it. I set the direction and the system, then I delegate.

My aim is to build companies that last for decades, even after I am gone. Not a quick return.

Every company I join becomes an entity with a mind of its own, led by someone other than me. That is what makes a portfolio compound, because whatever depends on me personally never does.

The First Meeting Workbook

The questions I ask a founder before I open the financial model, in the order I use them, with what I am listening for in each answer.

  • Questions of decisionHow does this person decide when alone and under pressure?
  • Questions of failureWhat has cost them something real, and what did they change afterwards?
  • Questions of delegationWho runs the company if they are away for a month? And would they accept being away?
  • The question of disagreementWhat if we disagree on a major decision and cannot agree?

For those with capital that is not yet working,or a business looking for a partner.

You will know how I decide, and what I turn down, before you invest with me. And if we do not understand each other in the first meeting, that is answer enough for both of us.

hello@amroalsiyabi.comMuscat, Sultanate of Oman

I have capital and I do not want to manage it myself.

I read every message myself. My reply may take time, but it is never abbreviated.
