About
Silkbridge Ventures is a hybrid venture studio and multi-stage seed fund that bridges Central Asian talent with UAE, KSA and global capital. Headquartered at Hub71 in Abu Dhabi with on-the-ground operations at IT Park Uzbekistan, Silkbridge systematically scouts, builds, and scales early-stage startups through structured programs and performance-based capital. Founders progress from Catalyst Academy (problem–market fit) to Accelerator GTM (MVP and go-to-market) to Enhance/Fuel-Up (fundraising and scale), with staged investments from the SBV Fund at each step. Focusing on fintech and embedded finance, logistics, e-commerce enablement, and digital public infrastructure, Silkbridge targets regional champions that can scale across Central Asia, the UAE, KSA and adjacent emerging markets. Our model combines deep, hands-on support, an established partnership network (IT Park, Banks, Cloud Providers, and VCs), and a de-risked selection funnel, while transforming the region’s startup ecosystem.
