About
New Genre Holdings Limited operates at the intersection of traditional value and emerging opportunity.
Foundation
Licensed by the Dubai International Financial Centre under License Number CL12221, New Genre Holdings Limited represents a considered approach to strategic investment. Our practice is built on decades of operational experience in property development, construction, and private lending, now extended into technology ventures with particular attention to artificial intelligence.
From our offices at Level 1, Innovation One, DIFC, we maintain a focused portfolio that reflects both traditional asset strength and selective exposure to transformative technology.
Leadership
Shayan Kargarian
Founder
Shayan Kargarian brings to New Genre Holdings a foundation built in property development and construction, with particular expertise in private lending for development projects. This operational background informs an investment approach grounded in asset fundamentals and cash flow dynamics.
As investor, entrepreneur, and venture builder, Kargarian has progressively expanded focus toward technology ventures, recognizing artificial intelligence as a structural shift rather than a cyclical trend. This evolution reflects a disciplined reassessment of value creation in an economy increasingly mediated by machine intelligence.
Through his partnership at Future Thesis Lab, Kargarian contributes to identifying and developing ventures positioned at this technological inflection point.
Strategic Affiliations
Future Thesis Lab
New Genre Holdings operates in partnership with Future Thesis Lab (FTLAB), a venture development platform focused on AI-native companies. This affiliation provides strategic access to emerging technology ventures and thought leadership in artificial intelligence.
FTLAB is co-founded by Shayan Kargarian and Mehran Granfar, founder and CEO of Adaptic.ai. Mehran brings depth in AI application and strategic thinking to the partnership. His work, including the forthcoming AI-Born: The Machine Core, the Human Cortex and the Next Economy of Being, articulates frameworks for understanding and harnessing the value of AI-born, self-organising, evolving, ventures.
Adaptic.ai
Through our connection to Adaptic.ai, we maintain perspective on practical applications of artificial intelligence in capital markets. Adaptic's platform for AI-managed, tokenized hedge funds represents precisely the kind of structural innovation that informs our investment thesis in the technology sector.
Investment Philosophy
Our approach is characterized by patience, selectivity, and operational understanding. We favor situations where we can contribute insight beyond capital, whether through property market knowledge or technology venture expertise.
In traditional assets, we look for value grounded in physical scarcity, cash generation, and structural demand. In technology ventures, we seek business models that leverage artificial intelligence for sustainable competitive advantage rather than speculative positioning.
This dual focus reflects a conviction that the most compelling portfolios bridge proven asset classes with carefully selected exposure to transformative technology. We are neither purely traditional nor exclusively forward-looking, but deliberately positioned across both domains.
The mandate is straightforward: preserve capital, generate returns, and maintain exposure to genuine innovation.
