A Case Study: Jam3ya

Jam3ya is a standout example of the transformative impact of BE Venture Builder. This digital platform modernizes traditional savings circles (ROSCAs), offering a secure and community-driven solution for financial inclusion.

The Problem: Many individuals in the UAE rely on informal ROSCAs to save money, but these methods often lack security, transparency, and scalability.

The Solution: Recognizing this gap, BE Venture Builder collaborated with the Jam3ya team to develop a platform that digitalizes ROSCAs, ensuring secure transactions, enhanced transparency, and ease of use. The platform leverages technology to modernize a culturally significant practice, making it accessible to a broader audience.

Value Added by BE Venture Builder:

• Partnership with a UK tech firm: Structured a convertible note equity deal to save tech costs and have the firm act as Jam3ya’s CTO.

• Entry into the Emirates NBD Incubator: Secured a spot in one of the UAE’s largest banks' incubator programs, providing unparalleled resources and opportunities.

• Launch of Alpha Version: Developed and launched the platform’s Alpha version, with a strategic go-to-market plan for testing and refinement.

• Investor Introductions: Presented Jam3ya to investors, collected feedback, and prepared for a fundraising round set to start in May 2025.

• Partnership with Dell: Leveraged Dell’s support for educational initiatives to boost credibility and outreach.

• DIFC Setup: Established operations in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) to enhance regulatory compliance and attract investments.

• Regulatory Progress: Worked closely with regulators, entering a sandbox and being shortlisted by a major regulator, with an announcement expected soon.

Jam3ya’s success demonstrates how BE Venture Builder’s structured programs and expert advisory can bring a bold vision to life.
