All venturesMarkets
Four markets, one stage
Dubai, Iraq, Greece and Türkiye, where I spend my time and place my capital
Gulf
Dubai
Dubai is where my Gulf network meets the wider world. I use it as a meeting point for capital, partners, and ideas that move between the Gulf and Europe, and as a base for real-estate and trading conversations.
Gulf
Iraq
Iraq is my operating base. It is home to Pexus Technologies, where I serve as Business Manager, and where most of my ventures find their first customers, from cosmetics to cars to collectibles. I know its rhythms firsthand.
Europe
Greece
Greece is part of who I am and a market I work in deliberately. My stake in P.A Golden Investment backs a route from Iraq and the Gulf to Greek residency and real estate, and hotwheels.iq sources from here.
Europe
Türkiye
Türkiye is family ground and a sourcing corridor. It is one of the origins for hotwheels.iq, and its position between Europe and the Middle East makes it a market I return to for trading and new opportunities.
The approach
How I invest
The principles that decide where my capital and my time go
- 01
Proximity first
I invest where I can show up. Every market on this site is one I have worked in personally, not one I read about.
- 02
Operators over decks
I back people who already sell, ship and answer the phone. A working product in Baghdad tells me more than a forecast for the region.
- 03
Patience with a plan
I hold for the long term, but every venture I join has a clear next milestone. Capital is only half of what I bring; the other half is management.
Insights
Notes from the stage
Short pieces on the markets I work in and the decisions behind my ventures
From diecast to demand: what hotwheels.iq taught me about importing into Iraq
A small import startup as a live experiment: precise demand, a route from Türkiye and Greece, collectors as a community, and why small bets inform big ones.

Why I invest between the Gulf and Europe
Four markets, one desk. How a Kurdish-Turkish-Greek background helps me read Dubai, Iraq, Greece and Türkiye, and what I look for before I commit.

What a Greece residence buyer actually needs to hear
Lessons from P.A Golden Investment: honesty over hype, a route that starts at EUR 250,000, and why a coordination firm should never pretend to be a law firm.
