Sohayb Baset
VP at Sahat Venture Studio
About the mentor
I am an entrepreneur, venture builder, and Saudi market entry advisor with over eight years of experience building, scaling, and supporting startups across Egypt and Saudi Arabia
I previously co-founded a B2B pharmaceutical marketplace that was later acquired by Grinta, where I contributed to growing revenues by 10x and managed a commercial team of more than 70 people. I am also the Founder of HOMEi, a PropTech venture that has supported 25 real estate projects, served more than 350 customers, and generated over EGP 330 million in transaction value
Currently, I serve as Vice President at Sahat Venture Studio, where I support founders in venture building, commercial strategy, go-to-market execution, partnerships, and expansion into the Saudi market. I have worked with more than 35 startups from 12 countries and contributed to building and developing ventures across PropTech, FinTech, marketplaces, workforce technology, EdTech, healthcare, and B2B services
I can help founders validate their business models, define their ideal customers, design practical go-to-market plans, build sales processes, develop strategic partnerships, assess Saudi market opportunities, and prepare for investment and growth
I am especially interested in supporting early-stage startups that have a clear problem to solve, are open to testing assumptions, and want to turn their ideas or early traction into commercially sustainable businesses
