About Karim

The whole company. Not one slice.

I’m the founder of Mytheos, an AI-native venture studio in Dubai. I work with founders on the whole company: strategy, product, design, capital and applied AI.

Intelligence is becoming abundant. Judgement is not. As building gets easier, what stays scarce is knowing what deserves to exist, shaping it into a coherent company, and taking responsibility for seeing it through. That is the work.

I came to it from the money side, advising boards at Nasdaq before building revenue and partnerships at two Dubai startups.

Toronto · 2019–2022

Nasdaq

I started in capital markets advisory, working with C-suites and boards at more than 30 public and pre-IPO companies on who owned them, who should, and when to move. I did valuation and roadshow work for issuers going public, three of which listed.

Dubai · 2022–2024

Pluto

I built the B2B business from zero to $1.2M+ ARR across the UAE and Saudi Arabia, leading a 15-person team and closing alliances with PayTabs and Telr.

Dubai · 2024

Valeo Health

I ran corporate development and partnerships, closing $2M+ with e&, Kitopi and Red Sea Global, and owned a $1.2M P&L.

Dubai · Now

Mytheos

I work alongside a small number of founders on the whole company, and stay accountable beyond delivery.

Studied at McGill University (Desautels Faculty of Management) and Marbella International University Centre (BBA, Finance).
