For founders

Bring us the clinical problem, not just the technology.

We are building CHP to work alongside founders on the questions that decide whether a health technology reaches everyday care: clinical need, evidence, workflow, adoption and a sustainable commercial model.

What we intend to bring

Capability alongside capital.

These are the areas our operating model is being built around. They describe intended support, not a guaranteed service.

  • 01

    Clinical validation

    Physician-led assessment, governed pilots and outcome measurement in real care settings.

  • 02

    Workflow and adoption

    Nursing and operational review of usability, integration and training needs.

  • 03

    Regional market entry

    Regulatory, reimbursement and partnership pathways for the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC.

  • 04

    Staged capital

    Investment aligned to evidence and milestones rather than a single upfront decision.

What we look for

Signals of fit.

  • A defined healthcare problem and a credible technical solution.
  • A team able to work with clinicians and healthcare organisations.
  • A willingness to generate evidence for the intended use.
  • Relevance to a care setting in our areas of investment interest.

These are indicative considerations rather than formal eligibility criteria, and they do not commit CHP to review, feedback or investment.
