The Wealth Circle (TWC), a global investment and learning platform, is set to make its Middle East debut at IgKnightED’25, an innovation ecosystem developed in collaboration with Khaleej Times. The event, which integrates media, mentorship, and market access, aims to connect founders, investors, and policymakers through curated events, summits, and digital communities. This partnership will introduce investor education, live deal showcases, and masterclasses to the event experience. TWC’s participation is part of the BIT Summit by Khaleej Times Events, now in its fourth edition, focusing on capital readiness and credible investment pipelines for startups. Following its soft launch at IgKnightED’25, TWC plans to roll out a full platform and native mobile app. The expansion into the Middle East and India aligns with the rapid growth of regional startup ecosystems, supported by initiatives like Dubai’s Future District Fund, Abu Dhabi’s Hub71+ Digital Assets Hub, Saudi Arabia’s National Technology Development Program, and India’s Startup India mission. TWC aims to bridge the gap in access to capital, mentorship, and trusted networks by offering curated deal flow, investor-led masterclasses, and private networking forums. The platform also provides quarterly-updated frameworks and databases to help ventures scale responsibly. Leading TWC is Nick Ayala, a U.S.-based entrepreneur and licensed investment adviser with over 15 years of experience in fintech, private markets, and financial services. Ayala has founded five companies, successfully exiting four, and has raised and advised on over USD 1 billion in private equity, venture, and real estate deals through his firm, Align Equity Group.
