Dubai of Tomorrow · Sponsorship
Region-locked. Category-aligned. Editorially-reviewed. Self-serve from $500. Custom from $5,000.
One sponsor per edition. Region-locked. Category-aligned.
This publication is read by founders, funders, and operators building MENA from Dubai. Not tourists. Not Western VCs reading from afar. The people on the ground, in the deals, doing the work.
Every edition has a single sponsor whose category and region match the editorial. A fintech sponsor in Dubai gets the fintech edition in Dubai. They do not pay for a generic newsletter blast across MENA. The match is the value.
Sponsorship surfaces are designed-in, never retrofitted. The sponsor mention is editorially-styled, clearly labelled, and reported with audited delivery numbers per region.

Pricing varies
Sponsors do not influence editorial. Ever.
Editorial selection is independent. Sponsors do not pick which founders are profiled. Sponsors do not see articles before they ship. Sponsors get a delivery report and a thank-you, not a draft review.
Profile-sponsorship separation: 90 days. If a founder is profiled in this publication, their company cannot sponsor a newsletter or edition within 45 days before or after the profile. Pay-to-play does not exist here.
Sponsor disclosure on every placement. Every sponsor mention is labelled. Every dedicated send carries a disclosure header. Readers see what they are reading.
Refusals. The publication declines sponsorships from companies the editor or Proptefi holds equity in. The publication declines sponsorships that conflict with editorial integrity in the editor's judgement, with the funds returned in full.

Who reads Dubai of Tomorrow?
Founders, funders, and operators building MENA from Dubai. The audience is small but specific. A subscriber list under 5,000 in this segment is worth more to a sponsor than a general-audience list of 100,000.
What does Phase 1 partner pricing mean?
Dubai of Tomorrow is in its founding period. Audience is growing weekly. Phase 1 partner pricing is honest pricing for that stage: lower rates, in exchange for being among the first sponsors to back the publication. Phase 1 partner pricing closes when the audience crosses 5,000 engaged subscribers.
What reporting do I get?
Open rates, click-through, unique opens, regional segmentation, on-site sponsor block engagement (for vertical placements). Reports are delivered within five business days of campaign close.
Can I sponsor in Saudi or the Emirate?
Saudi of Tomorrow and Emirate of Tomorrow run alongside this publication. Audience is smaller in those regions today (pre-launch). If your sponsorship target is regional founders specifically, those publications may be the right fit. Email us and we will scope it.
How fast can a sponsorship go live?
Self-serve sponsorships (Track 1) ship within 5 working days of payment. Custom sponsorships (Track 2) take 7 to 14 days from signed proposal, depending on creative requirements.
