Mohammed Almeshekah

Founder & General Partner at Outliers Venture Capital

Speaker

Mohammed has built, led, and backed category-defining companies in Saudi and across the region. He led national digital transformation efforts in Saudi Arabia, founded and exited a regional cybersecurity firm, and held senior government roles shaping multi-billion-dollar tech strategies. His experience across operating, investing, and policy gives him a rare perspective on what it takes to build enduring companies in complex markets.

With time at Google and Mozilla, a Ph.D. from Purdue University in cybersecurity and cognitive psychology, and a track record of execution across sectors, Mohammed brings founders unique technical insight, clarity in navigating complexity, and the conviction to partner early, often before a company exists. He works side-by-side with pioneering teams, helping them navigate inflection points and build with long-term impact.
