Contact Riyadh Web3 — Reach the Editorial, Intelligence, and Partnership Teams

Reaching the Riyadh Web3 Team

Riyadh Web3 operates as the Vanderbilt Terminal for Saudi Arabia’s Web3 and AI ecosystem, providing institutional-grade intelligence to decision-makers, investors, policymakers, and operators navigating the Kingdom’s rapidly evolving technology landscape. Our editorial headquarters processes hundreds of data points daily, tracking everything from SDAIA policy announcements and HUMAIN infrastructure developments to CMA regulatory signals and the $40 billion AI investment pipeline that is reshaping Riyadh into a global technology capital. Whether you are a venture capital firm conducting due diligence on Saudi AI startups, a multinational technology company evaluating market entry strategies, a government agency seeking comparative analysis, or a journalist covering the Middle East’s technology transformation, this page provides the channels and protocols for engaging with our team.

Our commitment to accuracy, depth, and analytical rigor means that every inquiry we receive is treated with the same seriousness we bring to our published intelligence. We do not operate a generic contact form that routes messages into an unmonitored queue. Every message sent to our primary email address reaches a team member within one business day, and substantive inquiries — particularly those related to intelligence partnerships, data licensing, or institutional subscriptions — are typically acknowledged within hours during Gulf Standard Time business hours.

Primary Contact Information

General Inquiries and Editorial Correspondence

For all general inquiries, editorial questions, story tips, factual corrections, and reader correspondence, the primary contact channel is:

Email: info@riyadhweb3.com

This address is monitored continuously during business hours (Sunday through Thursday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM GST, aligning with the Saudi business week) and checked periodically outside those hours. We aim to provide an initial response within 24 hours for all substantive inquiries. Messages that require research, internal consultation, or coordination with external partners may take longer, but we will always acknowledge receipt and provide a timeline for a full response.

When reaching out via email, we recommend including the following information to help us route your inquiry efficiently: your full name and organizational affiliation, the specific topic or section of Riyadh Web3 your inquiry relates to, any relevant deadlines or time constraints, and a brief description of what you are looking for. This is not a rigid requirement — we welcome informal correspondence as well — but structured inquiries tend to receive faster and more comprehensive responses.

Editorial Inquiries

Riyadh Web3 maintains strict editorial independence. Our analyses, intelligence reports, and market assessments are produced by our editorial team without influence from advertisers, sponsors, or the entities we cover. This independence is foundational to the trust our readers place in our work, and it governs how we handle editorial inquiries.

Story Tips and Source Information. If you have information about developments in Saudi Arabia’s AI, blockchain, Web3, digital assets, gaming, or broader technology ecosystem that you believe warrants coverage, we want to hear from you. We accept tips from named and anonymous sources, and we have protocols in place to protect source confidentiality when requested. All tips should be sent to info@riyadhweb3.com with “EDITORIAL TIP” in the subject line.

Factual Corrections. We take accuracy seriously. If you identify a factual error in any published content — whether a misquoted statistic, an incorrect date, a misattributed statement, or any other inaccuracy — please notify us immediately at info@riyadhweb3.com with “CORRECTION” in the subject line. We review all correction requests within 24 hours and publish corrections promptly when warranted. Our correction policy requires that we note the original error and the corrected information in the article, along with the date the correction was made.

Expert Commentary and Guest Analysis. Riyadh Web3 occasionally publishes guest analyses from recognized experts in AI policy, blockchain technology, digital asset regulation, gaming economics, and related fields. If you are an expert with relevant credentials and wish to contribute analysis, please contact us with a brief biography, your area of expertise, and a proposed topic. We maintain full editorial control over all published content, including guest contributions, and we do not publish paid content disguised as editorial analysis.

Intelligence and Research Partnerships

Riyadh Web3 produces intelligence that goes beyond what is available on our public platform. Our intelligence products include sector-specific deep dives, entity profiles, regulatory trackers, investment flow analyses, and custom research commissioned by institutional clients. These products serve hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, multinational corporations, consulting firms, and government agencies seeking granular, real-time intelligence on Saudi Arabia’s technology transformation.

Custom Research Requests. If your organization requires research that goes beyond our published content — for example, a detailed competitive analysis of Saudi AI startups in a specific vertical, a regulatory risk assessment for a planned market entry, or a comprehensive mapping of the blockchain vendor ecosystem serving Saudi government agencies — we welcome custom research commissions. Our team combines deep domain expertise with access to primary sources across the Saudi technology ecosystem. Please contact info@riyadhweb3.com with “RESEARCH REQUEST” in the subject line to initiate a scoping conversation.

Data Licensing. Organizations seeking to license data from Riyadh Web3’s proprietary databases — including our AI investment tracker, blockchain project registry, startup funding database, and regulatory change logs — should contact us at info@riyadhweb3.com with “DATA LICENSING” in the subject line. We offer structured data feeds in multiple formats and can customize data packages to match specific analytical requirements.

Institutional Subscriptions. Our premium intelligence tier provides subscribers with early access to analyses, quarterly briefing documents, direct analyst consultations, and priority access to custom research services.

HUMAIN, PIF’s $100 billion sovereign AI company launched in May 2025, is building campus-scale data center infrastructure with NVIDIA, Google Cloud, Blackstone, and Aramco — representing the single largest sovereign AI commitment globally. The Kingdom’s crypto market processed an estimated $31 billion in transactions between July 2023 and June 2024, growing at 153 percent year-over-year, while Savvy Games Group has deployed over $20 billion of its $38 billion gaming mandate across acquisitions including ESL FACEIT Group, Scopely, Niantic, and Moonton.
