The Final Pitch Dubai Unveils Powerhouse Investor-Judges

Four of Dubai’s industry leaders have been named as investor-judges on the upcoming business reality TV show The Final Pitch Dubai.

Bringing decades of entrepreneurial and investment expertise to the table, the panel of investor-judges represents some of the region’s most accomplished trailblazers across sectors, including digital transformation, real estate, fintech, clean tech, sustainability, and early to growth stage venture capital.

The lineup features Cypher Capital Founding Partner and Phoenix Group PLC Co-Founder Bijan Alizadeh; “The Wolf of Real Estate” CEO and Managing Partner of Harbor Real Estate  Dr. Mohanad Alwadiya; “Entrepreneur turned investor turned entrepreneur” Founding Partner of Incubayt Investments Ltd. Sami Khoreibi; visionary investor, strategic government advisor, and Founder of Triliv Holdings Jigar Sagar.

The Final Pitch, Asia’s longest-running business reality TV show, is making its Middle East debut in Dubai. The series introduces a proven format that empowers ambitious founders through targeted mentorship by domain experts, an all-access personal tour of the investor-judges’ businesses, and funding and collaboration opportunities.

Tasked with evaluating high-potential pitches, the investor-judge panel will challenge founders to refine their ideas, while offering access to markets, strategic resources, and smart capital

Now open for Applications: UAE Startups Invited to Pitch

 

Applications are now open for UAE based and non-UAE based international entrepreneurs looking to pitch their business to the panel of investor-judges. Selected startup founders will gain a unique opportunity to showcase their ventures, receive hands-on mentorship and potentially secure investment.

Applications can be submitted at the show’s website, TheFinalPitch.world

Deadline for submissions is on May 27, 2025.

The Final Pitch’s format introduces high-caliber mentors that come in to give practical and strategic guidance to the entrepreneur contestants, while each investor-judge gets to engage directly with their shortlisted entrepreneurs by inviting them to their businesses, giving them special access to their world and inner circle. The founders receive invaluable feedback and insights from the investors themselves as they prepare to pitch in a high-stakes finale.

The show, produced by award-winning production company Dragon’s Nest, and supported in the UAE by its local production partner Ti22 Films – led by its CEO Reim El Houni who joins as Co-Executive Producer – will be filmed entirely in Dubai and is set to go into production in June 2025 across key locations in the city. It will exclusively air on OSN and OSN+ in Q4.

“Dubai is one of the most exciting places in the world to build and grow a business right now,” said John Aguilar, creator and host of The Final Pitch and Founder of Dragon’s Nest, LLC FZ, the business and media investment firm bringing the show to the region. “Our mission has always been to spotlight visionary founders and connect them with real opportunities for investment and mentorship. With this first UAE edition in Dubai, we aim to contribute meaningfully to the country’s vision of fostering entrepreneurship, innovation and a knowledge-based economy – by helping build the next generation of business leaders.”
