Introducing Homebase by Origin VC
60 years of success under one roof
Homebase opens up physical space, services and networks to founders who seek genuine operators, not just a physical space, when it comes to early-stage growth support.
What is included
Premium location meets experienced support
A Riyadh address and a desk are the starting point. Around them, Origin runs your back office from the same floor, founders and operators who have built companies sit beside you, and the Al Fahd network is a conversation away. One team, in one building, looking after all of it.
Business address
A referenceable Riyadh address for the commercial registration and the National Address, from the day you sign.
Mail collection
Post and couriers received at reception, logged, and handed on or scanned to you the same day.
Back office
Payroll with GOSI and WPS, bookkeeping, VAT and Fatoora, government portals and renewals, run by Origin and reported weekly.
Function space
A boardroom and an open floor for launches, client events and team days, with front of house to run them.
Meeting rooms
Bookable rooms for eight and twelve, phone booths for calls, reception to receive your guests.
Premium location
A group-owned building in Riyadh, fitted out to the standard a visiting client or ministry expects.
Close to the metro
A short walk from a Riyadh Metro station, for staff and for visitors who would rather not drive.
Parking
On-site parking for your team and your guests.
Entrepreneurs in residence
Senior Saudi and Western founders and operators work from the same floors. Ask them how a ministry, a bank or a first hire behaves in practice. Origin arranges the introductions and the monthly sessions.
The Al Fahd network and story
Fifty-eight years of operating in the Kingdom. A group company can be your first customer, first site or first supplier, and the Chair’s relationships open doors where a meeting is warranted.
The people
Experience that’s just there.
Founders at Homebase work alongside three groups of people, on the same floors, from the first week.
- 01
Globally experienced staff and executives
The group’s own leadership and senior staff, who have run businesses across the Kingdom and the region and are on hand for the questions a new company cannot look up.
- 02
Founders in residence
Saudi and Western founders who have built and sold companies here, working from the incubation studio. Origin arranges the introductions and the monthly sessions.
- 03
Origin’s own experts
A team covering legal, AI, HR, operations and Kingdom navigation, available to every Homebase client through the coordinator.
How we’re different
Hands-on support from people who have built companies.
Homebase is more than a desk, and it isn’t consulting. Origin’s back office team works on the floor with you every day, and founders who have built and grown companies around the world sit a few desks away.
The Al Fahd family invests in the companies it brings in, Origin’s clients included, and treats them as part of the family. That means practical help from experienced people, with the founder’s interests first.
Present every day
The people running your payroll, books and government files are in the building, so a question gets answered in person the same day.
Founders who have done it
Founders and operators with startup successes behind them, here and abroad, who will tell you what worked for them and what didn’t.
Practical help
We do the work rather than write about it. Licences filed, people hired, accounts closed, introductions made.
Founder-first
The family takes a long view. We care about how your company is doing in five years, not just this quarter.
The suite
Your own desks, on a floor that is already running.
Each client has its own desks, with meeting rooms, the boardroom and front of house shared across the floor. The same floors house Origin’s own incubation studio, so you sit beside founders and operators who have built companies here.
- Dedicated desks for your team, ready on the day you arrive
- Reception, wifi, printing and a branded wall for your visitors
- Meeting room for eight, boardroom for twelve, two phone booths
- A pantry and an open floor for events
- A private office when you outgrow the desks
- Stay as long as you need, or move into your own premises when they are ready

The coordinator
Dedicated support to help you focus on what you do best.
Every Homebase client has one coordinator at Origin. They sit on the same floor, send the weekly report, and route anything specialist to the person who owns it, so you have one name to call.
Where they can help
- Government running: Absher, Muqeem, Qiwa, Mudad, Balady, the Chamber
- Renewals and the compliance calendar
- Scheduling, rooms and events
- Routing to the specialist who owns the question
- Early warning when something is about to lapse
Specialists on hand
- Bookkeeping and the monthly close
- Payroll processing
- HR advice
- Legal drafting
- Licensing submissions
- The family’s move
Who it is for
We work with pioneering, growth-minded founders and teams.
Homebase is open to ambitious Saudi startups that want a lower cost base and a direct line into the group, and to companies arriving from abroad. Entity, licences, bank account, first hires and books sit with Origin either way. Your own people stay free to sell.
Saudi startups and founders
An ambitious Saudi startup, or a founder with an idea and sometimes a team. A desk in the studio, a lower cost base through the shared back office and the coordinator, and the group as a first customer or partner.
Inbound global companies
A product and revenue at home, nothing in the Kingdom yet. Homebase is designed around you, from the first licence to the family’s move.
Kingdom and MENA corporates
An operating company elsewhere in the region, opening in Riyadh. Landing, licensing, the desk, the back office and government access.
Group and studio entities
Already set up, with the group’s HR and finance behind them. One owner, a client-grade service level, and reporting the family office can read.
The honest comparison
A coworking operator, an employer-of-record firm or a market-entry consultancy can match the desk and the paperwork, and some will do it faster. We have not seen one that offers the people and the network as well, because those belong to the group rather than to Origin.
