Liquidity for private markets
A new way to buy and sell stakes in private companies and funds, starting in Qatar.
• Why now
Private markets are growing. Liquidity hasn't kept up.
Capital is flowing into the region, but exits take time. We think there's a better way to unlock value along the way.

• The problem in the Gulf
Capital is pouring into the MENA. The exits are still years away.
From Doha to Riyadh, sovereign programmes, family offices and new funds are backing a generation of regional companies and managers. But a stake in a Gulf private company or fund can stay locked for years: listings are rare, buyers are hard to find, and sales still move through personal networks and paperwork. Baseerah is building a trusted, local path to liquidity, starting in Qatar.
