Launch-X Saudi Ventures - Founder-led, Community-powered Self-Accelerator

About Launch-X

Launch-X is a founder-led startup community in Riyadh, established on 7 July 2025.

We collaborate with top industry experts, mentors, investors, and partners to support founders during the most critical stage: when they already have a great product but need precise, targeted assistance to break into the market and scale rapidly.

Launch-X was born from our own experience as founders — we understand the frustrating "in-between" zone:

✗ "Too mature for another incubator"

✗ "Not quite ready to smoothly break into the market"

Our mission is not just to launch startups, but to co-create a new standard for founder-led market entry in Saudi Arabia.

Prepare

Go-to-Market

Scale

Our activities include targeted support for member startups, open Pitch Day events, GTM (go-to-market) Days, and much more.

We work with founders whose products align with Saudi Vision 2030 and the innovation landscape. Whether you're an expert, mentor, investor, or founder from any incubator or country.
