CEO & Cofounder - Loyalty & Cashback Platform

About Us:

Sanabil Venture Studio, a partnership between Sanabil Investments and Stryber, merges top-tier talent, seasoned founders, and robust funding to propel startups to unicorn status. Leveraging a blend of industry, technology, and startup expertise, we generate and evaluate visionary ideas, and take them from idea to building and launching MVPs. If an MVP we build proves to be successful, we provide targeted seed funding, ensuring each venture is equipped with the financial foundation to meet its ambitious goals. Beyond early stage development and funding, we provide ongoing support to our portfolio ventures and founders in their pursuit of scaling their startups.

Our latest venture is set to revolutionize the loyalty and cashback market with an innovative platform & app.
Consumers can earn cashback in physical locations close to them (by simply scanning the receipt after their purchase), collect cashback on their account and cash out the cumulated cashback to their bank account whenever they like. And not specific to one brand, but across brands.
Brands like supermarkets, groceries, restaurants and gas stations can offer cashback directly to consumers as a promotion tool to win new customers in their physical & online locations - with a clearly attributable and measurable ROI.
