Description
From the marketplace listing
GulfPitch helps startup founders research business financing in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain. It covers more than 370 VC funds, accelerators, grants, government programmes, angel networks, corporate VCs and loan schemes. Every entry is taken from the organisation's own website or application form and re-checked every month; each answer carries the month it was last checked and links to the programme's page on gulfpitch.com.
What you can ask:
• Search by words, country, type, stage, open applications only, no-equity only, or programmes whose own site says founders from abroad can apply.
• One programme in full: what it gives, who can apply, cost (equity or not), the from-abroad rule with its quote and source, the ticket as published, the application link.
• Published application deadlines that have not passed, nearest first.
For founders operating in the Gulf and international founders exploring entry. Read-only, no account, no sign-in. Answers are information, not advice: a programme's terms are whatever its own documents say, and figures not published by the organisation are left out rather than estimated.

# Gulf startup funding with GulfPitch
Use the GulfPitch tools when a user asks about funding, accelerators, investors,
grants, government programmes or application deadlines in Saudi Arabia, the UAE,
Qatar, Kuwait, Oman or Bahrain, or about entering one of these markets as a
founder from abroad.
## Which tool
- `search_gulf_funding` — the question names a need, a country, a type, a stage,
a sector, or a condition (open now, no equity, open to founders from abroad).
Combine filters; put sector words such as "fintech" or "climate" in `query`.
- `get_gulf_programme` — the question names one programme or funder. Pass the
name as the user wrote it; the tool also accepts the GulfPitch id or page slug.
- `gulf_deadlines` — the question is about what closes soon. No arguments.
## How to answer
- Every entry returns the month it was last checked and its page on
gulfpitch.com. Keep both in the answer: name the check month once, and link
each programme to its gulfpitch.com page.
- Quote terms as the tool returns them — amount, equity or not, who can apply,
status. Do not round, convert or complete a figure the tool leaves out; a
missing figure means the organisation has not published one.
- When a result does not fit a filter the user asked for (for example a
programme that matches the sector but not the stage), say so instead of
presenting it as a match.
- For founders from abroad, give the programme's own condition and quote
(`from_abroad_condition`, `from_abroad_quote`) rather than a summary of it.
- The data covers the six GCC countries only. For other countries say that
GulfPitch does not cover them; do not guess.
- The tools are read-only. GulfPitch cannot apply, submit, or contact a
programme on the user's behalf; point to the application link instead.
- This is information, not advice. Do not recommend a programme as the one the
user should choose or promise an outcome; set out what each programme
publishes and let the user decide.
