FasterCapital backs Grail Securities Ltd through EquityPilot to refine U.S. equity strategy

Zurich, Swaziland & Dubai, UAE — Apr 16, 2026

FasterCapital today announced that Grail Securities Ltd, a startup focused on high-conviction U.S. equity selection using the Grail Equity Management System (GEMS), has joined the EquityPilot program. FasterCapital will work with Grail Securities to translate its key-reversal and algorithmic selection approach into an executable plan for the coming quarters.

FasterCapital and EquityPilot will concentrate on execution milestones in the first 30–60 days, including refining investor materials, validating operational processes, and connecting Grail Securities with relevant ecosystem stakeholders for market and regulatory readiness.

Why It Matters?

Institutional and retail adoption of passive strategies has reshaped equity markets, but Grail Securities argues active selection of market-leading U.S. stocks supported by technical key-reversal signals and proprietary filters can provide differentiated performance when executed with disciplined risk controls. FasterCapital’s involvement aims to turn that investment thesis into a clear, operational roadmap suitable for institutional dialogue and investor review.

What the Startup Delivers?

Grail Securities Ltd has developed GEMS, a system that screens thousands of U.S.-listed companies with multi-factor algorithms and a key reversal module that signals confirmed breakouts and trend reversals. The firm targets market leaders across caps and industries and emphasizes capital protection by avoiding positions during confirmed downtrends.

Why Now?

Timing Macro volatility and renewed interest in active, algorithm-informed equity approaches create an opportunity for a disciplined, execution-focused manager to clarify strategy, address regulatory set-up in Switzerland, and prepare for market windows for investment deployment.

What FasterCapital Will Provide?

FasterCapital Support Scope

- Hands-on execution planning to convert GEMS strategy into prioritized milestones

- Guidance on investor-facing materials and pitch refinement for market introductions

- Connections to relevant ecosystem stakeholders, including advisors and market specialists

FasterCapital adds SmileForm for Africa to EquityPilot to address dental affordability

South Africa & Dubai, UAE — 15 Apr 2026

FasterCapital today announced it will work with Smileform for Africa through the EquityPilot program to help the company refine execution and accelerate steps toward local manufacturing and market adoption of low-cost dental products. The engagement focuses on improving affordability and access to clear aligners, dentures, and crowns for underserved patient segments.

FasterCapital and EquityPilot will concentrate on execution milestones during the first 30–60 days, focusing on operational setup, clinical validation pathways, and go-to-market readiness to convert treatment quote rejections into acceptances.

Why It Matters?

Across South Africa and wider African markets, cost and delivery timelines are major barriers to dental care. High quote rejection rates and low affordability leave millions without follow-up or permanent treatment. Growing social-media-driven demand for dental aesthetics is expanding total addressable need, while many dental clinics lack affordable, locally produced alternatives.

What the Startup Delivers?

SmileForm for Africa is developing a phased product approach beginning with affordable clear aligners, followed by low-cost dentures and dental crowns produced via digital workflows and local 3D printing. The model is designed to lower lab costs, speed delivery, and improve patient retention by offering economically viable permanent solutions that clinics can integrate into standard care.

Why Now?

Timing Advances in digital dentistry and 3D manufacturing, combined with rising patient demand and documented high rejection rates for expensive lab-based quotes, create an opportunity to introduce lower-cost, faster dental products that fit clinic workflows and patient budgets.

What FasterCapital Will Provide?

- Hands-on execution support focused on near-term operational milestones and product readiness

- Go-to-market and sales channel guidance tailored to dental clinics and lab partnerships

- Mentorship and connections to clinical and manufacturing stakeholders to support validation

- Assistance refining financial projections, pricing strategy, and investor materials

Program Plan First 30–60 Days

The initial work plan includes validating manufacturing specifications, aligning clinical workflows with partner dentists, refining pricing and unit economics, and preparing a go-to-market pilot for select clinics. FasterCapital will help prioritize milestones and provide feedback on materials and launch readiness.

Leadership Comment

“Hesham Zreik, Founder and CEO of FasterCapital, said: ‘We’re excited to support SmileForm for Africa through EquityPilot. Our team will focus on execution milestones and connecting the startup with the right ecosystem stakeholders.’”

Next 90 Days

Near-Term Roadmap Over the next 90 days the team plans to finalize manufacturing supplier onboarding, complete an initial clinical validation cohort with partner clinics, and launch a pilot sales program targeting early-adopter dentists in select South African regions.

About SmileForm for Africa

SmileForm for Africa is developing locally manufactured, digitally driven dental products starting with clear aligners, then low-cost dentures and crowns to expand access and reduce costs for patients and dental clinics.

FasterCapital to help 20-room Bujumbura hotel execute milestones in EquityPilot

Bujumbura, Burundi & Dubai, UAE — Apr 14, 2026

FasterCapital announced today that it will work with a 20-room tourist hotel project in Bujumbura through its EquityPilot program. The engagement is designed to help the team translate its development plan into an executable operating and financial roadmap during the program’s initial phase.

FasterCapital’s EquityPilot will focus on operational readiness, financial modeling refinement, and stakeholder introductions during the first 30–60 days to position the project for stable operations and funding readiness. The work is intended to produce clear execution milestones and prioritized next steps for the company’s management.

Why It Matters?

Tourism and business travel in the region show signs of steady recovery, and demand for mid-range lodging in Bujumbura is often underserved. A well-executed, locally operated 20-room hotel can fill a gap for visiting tourists and corporate guests, supporting broader local economic activity and creating hospitality jobs.

What the Startup Delivers?

The project proposes a mid-range, 20-room tourist hotel offering competitive daily rates, basic food-and-beverage services, and targeted distribution through online travel agents and local tour operators. The asset aims to combine local character with consistent service standards to attract repeat and new guests.

Why Now?

Timing Recovery in regional travel and a growing domestic market for staycations and local events create a window to establish a reliable hospitality offering before larger competitors increase capacity. The project’s scale and targeted positioning make it suitable for rapid operational stabilization if early execution is disciplined.

What FasterCapital Will Provide?

- Hands-on refinement of the project’s financial model and cash-flow forecasts to clarify funding needs and break-even timing.

- Operational playbook development, including staffing plans, revenue management guidance, and distribution channel recommendations.

- Connections to local advisors and ecosystem stakeholders to support permits, procurement, and go-to-market introductions.

- Guidance on investor-facing materials and preparation for funding conversations (no funding or results are guaranteed).

Program Plan First 30–60 Days

Initial engagement will emphasize validating assumptions, stress-testing revenue and expense scenarios, and preparing a concise milestone plan focused on pre-opening readiness, operational hiring, and early marketing campaigns. Deliverables will include an updated pro forma, a prioritized task list, and an investor-ready one-page summary.

Leadership Comment

“Hesham Zreik, Founder and CEO of FasterCapital, said: ‘We’re excited to support the 20-room Bujumbura hotel project through EquityPilot. Our team will focus on execution milestones and connecting the startup with the right ecosystem stakeholders.’”

Next 90 Days

Near-Term Roadmap The next 90 days will center on finalizing the scope of renovation and FF&E, completing a revised monthly cash-flow model, recruiting key operational hires, and launching initial marketing channels to build awareness ahead of opening.

FasterCapital backs FuelDash in EquityPilot to advance residential fuel delivery

United States & Dubai, UAE — 13 Apr 2026

FasterCapital today announced it has selected FuelDash to join EquityPilot, supporting the Colorado startup as it prepares to launch on-demand residential and business fuel delivery services. The program will work with FuelDash to refine go-to-market execution, regulatory readiness, and technology implementation.

FasterCapital’s EquityPilot will concentrate in the first 30–60 days on operational setup, regulatory alignment, and product refinement to help FuelDash move from planning to early commercial operations.

Why It Matters?

Consumers and small businesses increasingly expect on-demand services that remove friction from everyday tasks. FuelDash aims to address a specific and underserved gap: safe, secure, on-site fuel delivery for households, hospitality properties, and service fleets in Colorado. The service targets mobility-challenged residents and time-constrained consumers who currently lack convenient residential fueling options.

What the Startup Delivers?

FuelDash offers a dual B2C and B2B model for mobile fuel delivery, supported by a native mobile app suite with automated route optimization and photo-verified delivery completion. Key elements include: - On-demand residential fuel delivery and subscription memberships - Non-contractual business fueling delivered to job sites and fleet locations - Proprietary mobile apps for consumers, drivers, and admins with integrated pricing and verification tools

Why Now?

Timing Residential fuel delivery remains largely undeveloped in Colorado. Shifts in consumer behavior toward on-demand services, combined with operational improvements in mobile fuel handling and app-driven logistics, create a timely opening for a compliant, safety-focused entry.

- Connections to relevant ecosystem stakeholders, mentors, and industry advisors

- Feedback loops for the mobile app user experience and operational playbooks

FasterCapital and EquityPilot will concentrate in the first 30–60 days on executional workstreams to refine use cases, demonstrate core automations, and prepare materials for customer engagement.

Why It Matters?

What FasterCapital Will Provide?

- Hands-on execution support to translate product priorities into demonstrable use cases

- Guidance on go-to-market positioning and customer engagement readiness

90-Day Outlook

Over the next 90 days, FasterCapital and Apifera will aim to complete prioritized prototypes, produce demo artifacts for targeted buyers, and refine messaging and technical documentation to support early trials and customer conversations.

FasterCapital adds Corniche Leclerc to EquityPilot to support an exclusive coastal residence

Swaziland & Dubai, UAE — 11 Apr 2026

Summary FasterCapital has accepted Corniche Leclerc, an exclusive residential program in Sausset‑les‑Pins, into EquityPilot. The program is designed to help the team refine execution priorities for the two luxury apartments and the surrounding green site, focusing on operational readiness and local market positioning.

Nut graf FasterCapital and EquityPilot will concentrate in the first 30–60 days on clarifying execution milestones, aligning supplier and design specifications, and preparing materials needed for next‑stage outreach.

Why It Matters? 

Sausset‑les‑Pins is a preserved coastal village on the Côte Bleue valued for its family atmosphere, protected coastline, and proximity to Aix‑en‑Provence and Marseille. Demand for high‑quality, low‑density residential offerings that respect local character is a notable local trend. Corniche Leclerc aims to respond to this regional market preference with two bespoke, high‑end apartments sited directly on the corniche.

What the Startup Delivers? 

Corniche Leclerc is a two‑apartment development emphasizing privacy, quality finishes sourced through German and Italian partners, and uninterrupted Mediterranean views. Each apartment will offer configurable layouts, premium kitchens and baths, and private outdoor space that takes advantage of the site’s unique position between La Couronne and Marseille.

Why Now? 

Timing Local interest in sensitive coastal development and buyer preference for turnkey, finely detailed residences create a window for careful project execution. Corniche Leclerc’s combination of limited supply on the corniche and a design-forward approach targets buyers seeking a calm, high‑quality pied‑à‑terre or primary residence close to the sea.

How FasterCapital Will Provide? 

- Execution planning and milestone definition tailored to the residential program

- Guidance on supplier selection, specification alignment, and materials planning

- Support refining presentation materials for local stakeholders and prospective buyers

- Connections to ecosystem advisors and regional service providers

- Ongoing operational advice to help translate design intent into deliverables

First 30–60 Days Program Plan

FasterCapital and Corniche Leclerc will work through a focused initial plan: validate final layouts and finishes, confirm supplier commitments with German and Italian partners, and prepare a concise set of presentation and technical materials for local authorities and prospective clients. This phase will prioritize feasibility and clarity over speculative outreach.

Leadership Comment

“Hesham Zreik, Founder and CEO of FasterCapital, said: ‘We’re excited to support Corniche Leclerc through EquityPilot. Our team will focus on execution milestones and connecting the startup with the right ecosystem stakeholders.’” 

Next 90 Days

90‑Day Outlook Over the next 90 days, Corniche Leclerc and FasterCapital will aim to finalize supplier agreements, complete detailed finish schedules, and prepare client-facing materials that reflect the project’s quality and site advantages. These preparatory steps are intended to position the project for orderly progression while respecting local planning and community considerations.

About Corniche Leclerc

Kisumu, Kenya & Dubai, UAE — 10 Apr 2026

FasterCapital has selected Rafode ltd to join EquityPilot, supporting the Kenyan fintech’s plan to digitize operations and expand financing for micro, small and medium enterprises, smallholder farmers, and renewable energy access across Western and adjacent regions of Kenya.

FasterCapital and EquityPilot will prioritize Rafode’s digital transformation and portfolio growth in the first 30–60 days, focusing on product and operational execution milestones to prepare the startup for scaled outreach and improved service delivery.

Why It Matters?

Rural and underbanked communities in Kenya face persistent barriers to affordable finance and clean energy products.

Rafode emphasizes women and disadvantaged households as primary beneficiaries.

Why Now?

Reykjavík, Iceland & Dubai, UAE — April 09, 2026 

FasterCapital has accepted Travizz into its EquityPilot program to support the startup’s development of an integrated, AI-driven travel booking platform that aims to unify flights, hotels, transfers, car rental, activities and dining reservations on a single interface. FasterCapital will work with TRAVIZZ on early execution priorities and go-to-market readiness.

FasterCapital’s EquityPilot engagement will focus in the first 30–60 days on execution milestones, product refinement, and partner integration planning to help TRAVIZZ prepare for commercial rollout and partner onboarding.

Travelers today navigate fragmented booking ecosystems that force them to use multiple apps and websites for a single trip, creating friction, duplicated effort, and missed packaging opportunities. The online travel market continues to evolve toward integrated experiences and AI-driven personalization, creating room for platforms that can combine supply across categories while delivering tailored recommendations.

What the Startup Delivers? 

TRAVIZZ is positioning itself as a one-stop, web-based travel planning and booking platform engineered to reduce fragmentation.

TRAVIZZ’s product is designed to learn traveler preferences, curate personalized itineraries, and offer partners a plug-and-play solution to provide full-stack travel services without heavy technical investment.

Why Now? 

Advances in recommendation models, rising consumer expectations for personalized experiences, and the desire among smaller travel providers to deliver bundled services without building full infrastructure create a favorable moment for an integrated platform.

What FasterCapital Will Provide? 

- Hands-on execution support to align product roadmap with early commercial milestones

- Connections to ecosystem stakeholders, potential channel partners, and travel service providers

FasterCapital backs Wealth Expertiz through EquityPilot to pilot consumer-owned brand shares

Bangladesh & Dubai, UAE — 09 Apr 2026 

FasterCapital is supporting Wealth Expertiz through EquityPilot to help the startup refine and test a novel consumer investment model that gives shoppers free tradable brand shares when they purchase products or services. The initiative aims to accelerate execution milestones and prepare Wealth Expertiz for controlled market testing.

FasterCapital’s EquityPilot will focus on execution milestones during the first 30–60 days, working with Wealth Expertiz to finalize platform controls, user flows, and marketplace mechanics for customer-issued brand shares.

Why It Matters? 

Retail and hospitality channels are exploring new ways to deepen customer loyalty and create alternative value exchanges beyond discounts and points. Wealth Expertiz’s model awarding customers free brand shares tied to purchases aims to convert everyday transactions into ongoing investment engagement, creating an owned marketplace where customers can trade the shares they receive for brands they use.

What the Startup Delivers? 

Wealth Expertiz is building a regulated marketplace where customers receive free, tradable shares of brands when they buy goods or services such as a shampoo purchase earning a share of the shampoo brand, or a restaurant visit generating a share of that restaurant. Customers can hold, buy, or sell these shares on Wealth Expertiz’s platform. The company charges brands for participation and charges customers a fee when they sell shares, while share prices are determined by buyer and seller activity on the platform.

Why Now? 

Timing Consumer familiarity with trading apps and fractional ownership has grown, and brands are increasingly open to innovative loyalty mechanics that drive engagement. At the same time, regulatory clarity around tokenized assets and marketplaces is evolving, making this an opportune moment to pilot a consumer-driven share platform in controlled environments.

What FasterCapital Will Provide? 

- Hands-on execution support to refine Wealth Expertiz’s go-to-market and product priorities

- Guidance on marketplace mechanics, compliance considerations, and user experience trade-offs

- Connections to ecosystem stakeholders relevant to marketplace testing and distribution

- Feedback on fundraising readiness and investor-facing materials where appropriate

First 30–60 Days Program Plan

In the initial phase, FasterCapital and Wealth Expertiz will prioritize product validation and operational controls: finalize marketplace rules for share issuance and trading; complete key user journeys for earning and selling shares; test fee collection and settlement flows; and map regulatory checkpoints. The work will focus on building repeatable processes and measurable milestones rather than guaranteeing outcomes.

Leadership Comment

Hesham Zreik, Founder and CEO of FasterCapital, said: ‘We’re excited to support Wealth Expertiz through EquityPilot. Our team will focus on execution milestones and connecting the startup with the right ecosystem stakeholders.’

90-Day Outlook

Next 90 Days Over the next three months, the program will execute pilot tests with select brand partners and closed user cohorts to observe trading behavior, fee model dynamics, and platform stability. Learnings from these pilots will inform iterations to market-facing features and compliance controls.

About Wealth Expertiz

Wealth Expertiz is developing a consumer investment platform that issues free brand shares to customers when they make purchases. Those shares are tradable on Wealth Expertiz’s marketplace, enabling customers to participate in a novel form of brand engagement. Wealth Expertiz charges participating brands and transaction fees on sales executed by customers.

FasterCapital’s EquityPilot will focus on near-term execution milestones and program readiness for the first 30–60 days, emphasizing permitting support, project planning, and early investor communications.

Why It Matters?

Morocco’s tourism pipeline and the country’s alignment with major international events present a distinct opportunity for experiential destinations. Mesbah Park Malabata aims to become a flagship seafront entertainment hub in Tangier that can capture domestic family leisure demand while accommodating inbound tourism tied to near-term event-driven travel. The project’s multi-zone design targets longer guest stays and diversified revenue streams.

What the Startup Delivers?

Mesbah Park Malabata is designed as a 38-hectare seafront theme park featuring large outdoor rides, indoor attractions, water and ice facilities, a full-service hotel, VR and 3D light experiences, event spaces, and inclusive-access programming. The plan positions the Tangier site as Phase 1 in a national rollout of up to 25 units across Morocco.

Why Now

Timing The project aligns with Morocco’s 2025–2030 national development window and is timed to connect with tourism flows around major international events. Permit applications have been submitted to local authorities for the Malabata site, creating a near-term focus on regulatory and construction readiness.

FasterCapital adds SHN Miami Inc. to EquityPilot to advance real-estate tech delivery

United States & Dubai, UAE — 07 Apr 2026

FasterCapital has selected SHN Miami Inc. to join EquityPilot, a program designed to support execution-focused milestones for startups scaling technology-enabled real estate development. The partnership will focus on rapid validation of pipeline projects and strengthening go-to-market readiness during the first 30–60 days.

FasterCapital and EquityPilot will prioritize execution support and operational planning in the first 30–60 days to help SHN Miami Inc. translate its proprietary platform and active projects into measurable milestones and investor-ready materials.

Why It Matters?

The luxury real estate market increasingly rewards digital customer journeys, prefabrication, and programmatic development approaches that reduce time-to-sale and validate demand before heavy capital deployment. SHN’s platform targets these shifts by combining online sales tools, configurators, and development-process automation to reduce acquisition risk and accelerate presales.

What the Startup Delivers?

SHN Miami Inc. operates a technology platform for real estate development that integrates a customer journey management system, an e-commerce sales engine, and a web app with configurators and interactive tools. The company applies these tools to ongoing developments to optimize pre-sales, project SPV formation, and construction delivery using high-precision prefabricated timber systems and sustainability features.

Why Now?

Timing SHN’s move to a U.S.-based operating base aims to access deeper capital pools and a more supportive development ecosystem. By validating demand through presales and option-based acquisitions, SHN seeks to reduce early capital exposure while accelerating project activation in high-demand destinations.

What FasterCapital Will Provide?

- Execution-focused mentorship on milestone definition and operational KPIs

- Guidance on investor-facing materials and fundraising readiness without guaranteeing outcomes

- Connections to relevant ecosystem stakeholders to test channels and introductions

- Support refining the product-to-customer path and go-to-market sequencing

Program Plan (first 30–60 days)

Initial Work Plan FasterCapital and SHN will map a 60-day execution plan that includes milestone prioritization, investor pitch and data-room readiness, customer journey optimization, and a commercialization checklist for the e-commerce experience. The effort focuses on converting pipeline opportunities into actionable deliverables and measurable progress.

Leadership Comment

“Hesham Zreik, Founder and CEO of FasterCapital, said: ‘We’re excited to support SHN Miami Inc through EquityPilot. Our team will focus on execution milestones and connecting the startup with the right ecosystem stakeholders.’”

Next 90 Days

Upcoming Milestones Over the next 90 days SHN and FasterCapital will work toward defined outcomes including refined investor materials, prioritized near-term project activations, and initial tests of third-party commercialization of the platform services.

FasterCapital backs a rice production project through EquityPilot

Cairo, Egypt & Dubai, UAE — April 07, 2026 

FasterCapital has added a rice production and processing startup to EquityPilot, the firm’s execution-focused program designed to help early-stage ventures move from concept to operational readiness. The startup aims to establish a factory that will produce multiple rice formats including Basmati, Egyptian, and risotto-style rice using a two-line production layout and integrated milling, drying, cooling, sorting, and packaging lines.

FasterCapital and EquityPilot will begin by focusing on operational design, production-line sequencing, and supplier and equipment selection during the first 30–60 days to position the project for manufacturing readiness.

Why It Matters? 

Demand for differentiated rice products and ready-to-package specialty grains is rising in regional and export markets. Processed rice products  including reconstituted basmati and shaped rice formats are increasingly sought by retail brands and packers that need consistent grain shape, low broken-rate product, and varied pack sizes for multiple channels.

What the Startup Delivers? 

The project plans a vertically integrated factory with two parallel production lines. Each line will include milling to grind broken rice into flour, blending and conditioning mixers, form-shaping manufacturing equipment, oven drying with electric/gas options, cooling systems, sorting stations, and a packaging line capable of multiple head-count weighing setups. Product SKUs are planned from 1 kg retail packs up to bulk formats to serve retail, export, and industrial packers.

Why Now? 

Timing The combination of available raw-material streams (broken rice and white flour), rising regional demand for specialty rice SKUs, and accessible processing equipment makes this an appropriate window to move from feasibility to plant execution. The dual-line approach aims to allow simultaneous production of Basmati and Egyptian varieties while maintaining flexibility for other formats.

What FasterCapital Will Provide? 

FasterCapital Support Scope

- Execution-focused operational planning and milestone definition

- Guidance on production-line configuration and vendor selection

- Connections to manufacturing and packaging ecosystem stakeholders

- Advice on early go-to-market and channel targeting

- Help preparing materials for fundraising and supplier negotiations

Program Plan First 30–60 Days

The initial work plan centers on validating the factory layout, confirming equipment specifications (grinders, mixers, ovens/dryers, coolers, sorters, and packaging heads), refining SKU mix, and mapping supplier and logistics options. FasterCapital will work with the founder team to set measurable 30–60 day milestones focused on procurement and pilot-line readiness.

Leadership Comment

Hesham Zreik, Founder and CEO of FasterCapital (linked), said: “We’re excited to support the basmati rice production project through EquityPilot. Our team will focus on execution milestones and connecting the startup with the right ecosystem stakeholders.”

90-Day Outlook

Near-Term Roadmap Over the next 90 days the project aims to complete final equipment specifications, initiate vendor solicitations, select a pilot production line configuration, and advance permitting and site-preparation planning so that equipment procurement and installation can follow.

About UniNile

The startup is developing a production and processing facility focused on producing differentiated rice products, including Basmati, Egyptian, and risotto-style rice, across retail and bulk packaging formats. The factory design emphasizes two production lines to allow simultaneous SKUs and flexibility for contract packing customers. Founded by Amr Zin Elbeden Ebrhim Soliman.

Bratislava, Slovakia & Dubai, UAE — Apr 06, 2026

Viakris s.r.o, a recruitment agency focused on placing jobseekers in Western Europe with transparent terms and verified accommodations, today announced it has joined FasterCapital’s EquityPilot program to refine its expansion and operational plans.

FasterCapital’s EquityPilot will concentrate on execution milestones during the first 30–60 days, working with VIAKRIS to sharpen go‑to‑market priorities, strengthen recruitment operations, and prepare the company to expand office presence in target countries.

Why It Matters?

Labor markets across Western Europe continue to rely on cross‑border mobility, yet many jobseekers encounter unclear job descriptions, misleading accommodation promises, and opaque fee structures. Agencies that increase transparency and offer end‑to‑end candidate support help reduce friction for workers seeking legal, well‑documented employment abroad. VIAKRIS targets this need by focusing on ethical placement and clear communication.

What the Startup Delivers?

VIAKRIS s.r.o provides A-to-Z placement services for individuals seeking work in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. The company emphasizes transparent contracts, verified living conditions, and no placement fees for jobseekers. Founded by Viliam Murcin and Anna, VIAKRIS currently works with active partners in multiple Western European countries and maintains a growing database of candidates and employer contacts.

Why Now?

Timing Demand for verified, dependable recruitment channels has increased as more workers look for stable employment abroad while avoiding exploitative or misleading intermediaries. VIAKRIS’ combination of multilingual founders, on‑the‑ground partner networks, and a candidate‑first policy aims to address a timely market gap.

What FasterCapital Will Provide?

- Hands‑on execution support to organize near‑term milestones and operational priorities

- Guidance on go‑to‑market refinement and hiring plans for expanded offices

- Connections to relevant ecosystem stakeholders and operational partners

- Assistance with marketing strategy and candidate acquisition channels

- Advice on improving internal processes for placement verification and compliance

Program Plan (first 30–60 days)

Execution Plan During the initial period, VIAKRIS and FasterCapital will map priority markets, refine messaging for employers and candidates, audit current partner agreements, and begin recruiting additional team members to support higher volume placements. Activities will include reviewing candidate onboarding workflows, standardizing employer contracts, and outlining a phased office expansion plan.

Leadership Comment

“Hesham Zreik, Founder and CEO of FasterCapital, said: ‘We’re excited to support VIAKRIS s.r.o through EquityPilot. Our team will focus on execution milestones and connecting the startup with the right ecosystem stakeholders.’”

Next 90 Days

90‑Day Outlook Over the next three months, VIAKRIS plans to finalize priority markets for expansion, begin hiring key operations staff, pilot improved candidate verification processes, and launch targeted digital marketing to attract both employers and jobseekers. The company anticipates using findings from these pilots to inform its broader expansion strategy into additional EU markets.

Founded by Viliam and Anna, the company focuses on transparent job descriptions, verified accommodation, and full support from placement through onboarding.

TOFA Enters EquityPilot to Build a Formula 2 Pathway for Women Racers

Munich, Germany & Dubai, UAE — Apr 05, 2026

Motorsport’s elite tiers remain overwhelmingly male, and the transition from youth development programs into adult feeder series presents a persistent bottleneck for women drivers. With interest and grassroots initiatives growing, there is an urgent need for mission-focused teams and structured support that bridge development programs and competitive entry into series such as Formula 2.

What the Startup Delivers?

The One Family Racing (TOFA), a family-run company headquartered in Munich, is forming a mid-to-upper league racing initiative designed specifically to support women drivers over 18 who aspire to compete directly against male peers in feeder series. The program aims to combine race-team operations, coaching, and sponsorship development to create a credible competitive platform with the long-term ambition of producing a driver capable of stepping into the premier league.

Why Now?

Recent conversations in motorsport about equipment design and inclusion, and renewed visibility for women’s development initiatives, create momentum for targeted interventions. TOFA’s timing aligns with these trends and with broader industry signals toward improving pathways for women in higher-tier racing.

Program Plan (first 30–60 days)

- Establish operational core: appoint key technical and management roles, finalize team structure and facilities.

- Driver selection and intake: confirm candidates and set performance benchmarks.

- Sponsorship outreach: begin systematic engagement with potential commercial partners and rights holders.

- Race-readiness roadmap: plan pre-season testing schedule and logistics for initial feeder-series entries.

Snapshot → Problem

Leadership Comment

Hesham Zreik, Founder and CEO of FasterCapital, said: ‘We’re excited to support TOFA through EquityPilot. Our team will focus on execution milestones and connecting the startup with the right ecosystem stakeholders.’

Founder background

TOFA was established as a family business to address the gap between youth development efforts (such as Girls on Track) and adult feeder series participation. The founding team brings motorsport operational intent, local European base in Munich, and hands-on management experience. Founded by Sasu Catalin Iulian. 

Ecosystem relevance

TOFA’s model targets a defined niche within the motorsport ecosystem: operationally capable feeder-series teams that prioritize women drivers. The program is positioned to engage with race organizers, driver-development networks, and sponsor communities focused on diversity and high-visibility motorsport marketing.

Next 90 Days

TOFA and EquityPilot will concentrate on finalizing team leadership hires, confirming initial driver roster, securing primary technical partnerships for testing, and initiating sponsor conversations to underwrite the first competitive season.

About TOFA

FasterCapital backs Gabb Global through EquityPilot to scale neuroadaptive K–12 language learning

Atlanta, United States & Dubai, UAE — April 4, 2026 

FasterCapital has accepted Gabb Global into EquityPilot, supporting the neuroadaptive AI platform as it focuses on scaling school onboarding and converting classroom pilots into paid contracts. The collaboration pairs FasterCapital’s execution-oriented support with Gabb Global’s UCLA-backed neuroadaptive approach to K–12 ELL language learning.

FasterCapital’s EquityPilot will prioritize improving onboarding capacity and pilot-to-contract conversion in the first 30–60 days, working alongside Gabb Global’s leadership and product team to translate classroom outcomes into repeatable procurement wins.

Why It Matters? 

More schools and districts are seeking evidence-backed digital tools that demonstrably improve proficiency and retention for English language learners. Gabb Global targets K–12 ELL students with a platform designed to increase conversational fluency where many traditional apps and classroom models fall short. FasterCapital’s program engagement responds to rising demand for practical execution support that helps edtech companies convert early traction into broader school and district adoption.

What the Startup Delivers? 

Gabb Global offers a neuroadaptive AI platform that runs on existing school devices (Chromebooks, tablets, laptops) and adjusts instruction in real time based on cognitive load. The product blends a neuroadaptive engine, a speech AI trained on 50K+ ESL recordings, and multi-device delivery to aim for improved vocabulary retention and conversational fluency. Reported outcomes include AP Spanish pass-rate improvements and measurable gains in retention and fluency in classroom deployments.

Why Now?

Timing K–12 procurement cycles are increasingly outcomes-driven; districts prioritize tools that embed into curriculum and demonstrate measurable gains on proficiency benchmarks. Gabb Global’s recovery from budget-driven churn and a waitlist of interested schools indicate a demand-side window where operational scaling and refined contract conversion can materially accelerate revenue growth.

What FasterCapital Will Provide? 

- Hands-on execution support to scale onboarding processes and operational capacity

- Guidance to refine pilot frameworks and procurement-facing materials for district buyers

- Connections to ecosystem stakeholders, including mentors and potential implementation partners

- Assistance in defining repeatable metrics that support renewal and expansion conversations

Program Plan (first 30–60 days)

FasterCapital and Gabb Global will jointly review current pilots to identify quick wins for conversion and standardize the teacher-facing implementation steps that drive classroom adoption.
