01
Who We Are

A full-stack, in-region GTM execution engine

RidgePoint provides a complete go-to-market execution engine for established software vendors (ISVs) looking to enter, expand, and scale within the Middle East & Africa. We are not a traditional distributor, reseller, or consultancy — we are an operational extension of our partners, purpose-built to accelerate their regional growth.

Our model is founded on the principle of exclusive category ownership. We select one leader per technology category and invest our entire commercial and operational apparatus into making them the dominant player in the region. We don't onboard competing products, and we build the regional motion around you — pipeline, partners, deal desk, and commercial ops.

MEA Coverage
02
Who We Aren't

Clear boundaries. No ambiguity.

A Distributor

Distributors fulfill orders for a broad portfolio of vendors, often with competing products. They do not generate demand or provide dedicated GTM execution.

A Reseller / VAR

Resellers add a margin and may offer implementation services. They are not strategic, exclusive partners and typically represent dozens of vendors.

A Consultant / SI

Consultants advise and implement. They do not own the commercial motion, build channel, or provide a full-stack GTM engine. RidgePoint executes; it does not just advise.

A Passive Investor

We are active operators, not a venture capital firm. Our investment is operational and commercial, focused on building revenue streams.

An EOR / Subsidiary-as-a-Service

We can hire in-region GTM talent on our payroll to act as your local team — but we go far beyond staffing. We own the entire commercial motion, not just the headcount.
