Skin in the game.
For eighteen years we've sourced prime locations for the world's best brands. We've also created and opened our own — MNKY HSE, African Queen, SANA among them. It's why our advice comes from the inside out: we've sat on every side of these deals — as advisor, as tenant, as owner.

The outcome
{{ pOutcome }}
Real estate, for restaurants and retail. Nothing else.
We source prime sites and negotiate the deals that put the world's best F&B and retail brands into them. We are not lawyers, accountants or financiers — we are the real estate advisors who know exactly which ones you need, and bring them to the table.
The seat we take
One mandate, one seat — stated up front on every engagement.For brands & tenants
You know where you want to be; we know how to get you there. We identify the right location, negotiate the terms, and structure the deal — then surround it with the professionals a market entry needs.
For landlords & developers
A prime site deserves a covenant worth building for. We bring landlords the brands that hold an address for fifteen years, not five — and negotiate tenancies both sides can live with.
For brands entering new markets
Franchise structures, partnerships, the right local vehicle — we place brands into markets they couldn't enter alone.
The deal, end to end
Identify the location
The right address for the brand — sourced through landlord relationships, mostly before sites reach the market.
Negotiate the deal
Every term with the landlord, structured and closed.
Assemble the professionals
Accountants, lawyers, employment and licensing specialists, designers, contractors — we are none of these, and we know exactly who the best of each are. They come with us.
Source the financing
Introductions to the capital that funds fit-outs and entries.
Stand up the framework
Operators, employment structures, the legal scaffolding — connected, not performed.
Eighteen years of transactions build a bench: the landlords and estates of London and Dubai, the region's developers, and the advisors who've closed these deals with us before.
The network is the product as much as the address is.
We also open and operate restaurants of our own — MNKY HSE, African Queen and SANA among them, all tagged Founder Ventures on this site. We keep that side of the business separate from client mandates, and disclosed. But it's why our judgement on a site is an owner's, not a broker's.

Trusted on both sides of the table.
Brands trust us to find the address. Landlords trust us to bring the brand. Sitting between the two is the whole business.
Logos replace the wordmarks once files and permissions are in. African Queen and SANA are Founder Ventures — built, not placed.
One relationship can be worth a hundred viewings.
Ours span the owners of the world's most valuable retail and dining streets — the estates that decide who holds an address, and the developers who build the next one.
Which side of the table are you on?
Start a conversationDeals are done by people, not platforms.
Over a century of combined sector experience and five languages between us. The same standards of discretion and precision whether the mandate is a Mayfair flagship or a multi-site expansion from Dubai to the South of France.
