The Opportunity
Hamilton Bradshaw is the private family office of investor and
*Dragons' Den*
star James Caan CBE.
We partner with Digital Transformation founders to scale specialist advisory firms in the GCC.
This is a Founder – Strategic Investor partnership opportunity.
It is not a job vacancy.
You've already proven you can run a business, you bring the domain expertise, management skills, and a solid track record of delivery.
We bring the investment, platform, and three decades of experience helping ambitious Founders turn their ambitions into institutional grade businesses with long-term intrinsic value.
Together we can scale your business across the Gulf, helping private and public sector clients accelerate their digital transformation, optimise the value of their data, and adopt AI responsibly and efficiently into their workflows.
We've been doing exactly this with founders like you for 30 years, having launched over 50 businesses and delivered nearly two dozen exits, creating wealth for stakeholders along the way
Why Partner With Us
- **Proven backer**
- — partner with an investor who has launched and scaled dozens of service-led consultancies and exited 20+ globally.
- **Real capital and infrastructure**
- — investment, brand, back-office, and introductions that let you scale faster than you could fund or build alone.
- **Deep operating expertise**
- — 100+ years of combined experience growing high-growth, people-driven professional services firms.
- **The right market**
- — grow your firm in one of the world's fastest-growing markets for AI, digital transformation, and enterprise consulting.
- **A path to exit**
- — partner with a team that knows how to take a firm from founder-led to acquirable, and has done it more than 20 times.
Who We're Looking For
- Dubai-based founders (applications from outside the UAE will not be considered)
- An established consultancy, advisory practice, or proven track record as a founder — with real clients and revenue to point to
- 10+ years across one or more of: digital transformation consulting; AI strategy, data, and analytics; technology, cloud, automation, or process re-engineering
- A proven ability to advise senior stakeholders and lead complex transformation programmes
- A clear, commercial vision for taking your firm to the next stage — and the leadership to build a high-performing team around it
- Genuinely entrepreneurial — you've built something, and you're ready to scale it beyond what you can achieve on your own
Where Your Firm Could Specialise
- Whether you're already focused on a niche or building out new service lines, the demand spans:
- AI strategy, governance, and adoption roadmaps
- Data and analytics consulting
- Cloud transformation and modernisation
- Intelligent automation (RPA, low-code, workflow optimisation)
- Operating model redesign and digital process optimisation
- Customer experience and digital service transformation
- Sector-specific transformation — financial services, healthcare, energy, retail, public sector
- AI readiness assessments and enterprise enablement
- Technology cost optimisation and value-creation programmes
How to Apply
- Submit a short pitch covering:
- Your firm today — team, core capability, and traction to date
- Target sectors and client value proposition
- Service model, pricing approach, and commercial strategy
- A 12–36 month growth roadmap and the support you'd want from HB MENA
- Please note: this is a services-led partnership.
- We are not seeking product-led or SaaS-only models, our focus is professional services firms where revenue is driven by human capital.
- If you're ready to scale a market-leading transformation consultancy in the GCC, we'd like to hear from you.
- Strong applicants will be invited to an initial conversation with the Hamilton Bradshaw team.
