Our story
Built by operators, for founders.
EbaMedia was founded on a simple belief: the best consultants are the ones who've actually done the work. Every partner on our team has built, scaled, or exited a business. We know what it feels like to be in the room when the stakes are real.
Why we exist
EbaMedia started in Dubai in 2016, when our founders grew frustrated watching talented startup teams get generic advice from consultants who'd never run a P&L. The playbooks were polished. The results were poor.
We built EbaMedia to be different. Every engagement is led by a partner who has personally navigated the challenge you're facing — whether that's entering a new market, preparing for a fundraise, or scaling operations past the breaking point.
Eight years and 42 startups later, we're still here. Still embedded. Still accountable to the numbers.
By the numbers
How we operate
Our values
Outcomes over outputs
We don't measure success by decks delivered or hours billed. We measure it by the milestones you hit. If you don't grow, we haven't done our job.
Radical honesty
We'll tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. If your idea has a fatal flaw, you'll know in week one — not after you've spent six months on it.
Embedded, not advisory
We work inside your business, not from the outside looking in. That means Slack access, weekly calls, and real accountability — not a monthly check-in and a report.
Founder-first
We've been founders. We know the loneliness, the pressure, and the weight of the decisions you carry. We treat every engagement with that understanding.
