OX Factory ® is an ICT-focused “startup factory” designed to build high potential businesses, taking projects from the idea stage to launch. OX Factory boasts a world-class management team, solid funding and stellar advisors stemming from several key sectors (technology, finance, etc…). OX Factory seeks to close the knowledge and resource gap experienced by entrepreneurs as they embark on their adventure by building its own startups. Fundamentally, OX Factory is built around the assumption that game-changing ideas (and likewise startups) are the fruit of great concepts deployed by great teams having at their disposal a powerful resource platform. We are that team, we strive to come up with great concepts and we have created our own platform. Other OX related businesses include OX Media and OX Holdings. OX Media ® is a fully integrated online media company whose online properties form a compelling, cohesive and synergistic portfolio, both for readers (whose interests are practically all covered by the online properties’ specific focuses) and advertisers (who can easily target specific target market segments allowing for optimum promotional results). Led by a team of passionate entrepreneurs, contributors and developers, OX Media strives to push the limits of online media, constantly introducing new features, technologies and innovations across its growing online properties portfolio, mainly focused on the booming Middle East and North Africa (MENA) market. OX Holdings ® is a pool funded investment vehicle that allows a limited group of select investors to participate in growth stage businesses.
