James Stull is a go-to adviser for venture capital investments and fund-raising rounds occurring in the Saudi market. He acts for an impressive client base which includes a number of venture capital firms, funds and institutional investors.

He understands global venture capital norms and trends, and also really understands how things work locally. That's extremely useful for any client.

I find James Stull's advice to be very practical and commercially minded.
