What Pinnacle Capital does

Pinnacle Capital is a privately held Saudi Arabian investment management and advisory firm, established in 2021 and headquartered in Riyadh at Masharik Tower on King Fahad Road. The firm operates under Capital Market Authority (CMA) License No. 12-23262 (issued June 2023) and is registered under Commercial Registration No. 7025440855, with paid-up capital of SAR 13,680,180. Its stated mission is to provide alternative investments aligned with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, targeting high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and institutional investors.

The company's product portfolio is organized into two service lines. Investment Management comprises four verticals: Venture Capital (tech startups, with two co-investments launched and a closed-ended fund in formation), Catalyst (strategic stakes in public companies via single-asset closed-ended funds), PE Aggregator (consolidating smaller businesses into national champions), and Infrastructure (PPP and BOT equity investments, with a Developers' Partnership Club Program in development). Arrangement Services provide IPO Strategic Advisory, mid-market M&A, private placements, debt restructuring, and public offerings of equity and debt securities. An investor portal (portal.pinnacle.sa) supports investor onboarding and access.

Pinnacle Capital is led by three co-founders — Abdulwahab AlBetairi (CEO), Dr. Adel Alsayed (Managing Partner), and Tarek AlRumaim (Chairman) — whose prior experience spans Kingdom Holding, Samba Financial Group, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank, SIDF, and the World Bank. The firm is founder-owned, with no disclosed external institutional investors, and pursues a high-touch, consultative distribution model — introductory calls, personal consultations, and customized plans — supplemented by ecosystem referrals and an online investor registration portal. No revenue, AUM, headcount, or client logos are disclosed.
