We are a family office backed investment firm diversified over game-changing trend sectors including web3, climate tech and healthy foods. Enabling Future is diversified over different industries and geographies, thereby hedging sector specific and regional risks. All our portfolio entities and fund-investments share one common goal, which is to render the world we live in more livable, transparent and efficient.
We provide mid-market M&A advisory to buyers and sellers across the UAE and GCC, on deals ranging from USD 10 million to USD 150 million. Enabling Future Advisory is the M&A arm of Enabling Future, a family-office-backed investment platform with a global portfolio and realized exits including Babil Games (acquired by Stillfront), Tezos, Trifacta, and Thrive Market. We think like principals, because we are.

Services
We enable mid-market transactions end to end, from the first valuation conversation to a signed, defensible deal.
Buy / Sell-Side M&A Advisory
We manage the full exit: valuation, information memorandum, buyer identification and outreach, negotiation, and close. We prepare your business to withstand a buyer's diligence before it begins, and run a process that protects both your price and your confidentiality.
Business Valuation & IM
We value businesses the way investors actually price them: grounded in market comparables, cash-flow reality, and the value drivers of your sector. Our information memorandums are investor grade, the same materials we'd want to receive on the other side of the table.
Due Diligence
We go past the reported numbers to the quality of earnings underneath them: revenue recognition, working capital, normalized EBITDA, and hidden liabilities. Sellers get prepared for the questions buyers will ask. Buyers get certainty the business performs the way the data room claims.
Debt Advisory
Does the growth story hold up? We test the market, competitive position, customer economics, and the assumptions behind the projections. This is where deals are won or repriced, and where our operator and investor experience gives you an edge.
Sectors
We advise businesses across technology, food, packaging, construction, and industrial sectors.
Technology
Software, fintech, digital platforms, and consumer technology, backed by an investment portfolio spanning web3, big data, and financial infrastructure.
Food
FMCG, healthy foods, and consumer brands, drawing on more than a decade of hands-on experience building CPG and DTC businesses in the region and globally.
Packaging
The manufacturers and supply chains behind consumer products, where operational insight and asset understanding decide the deal.
Construction & Industrial
Asset-heavy, engineering-led businesses, where valuation demands technical fluency as much as financial rigor.
