(MENAFN- Tales & Heads) Dubai, 11 November 2025] idea-L®, the AI and Web3-powered platform that gives founders rapid clarity, funding access, and a guided path from idea to launch, today announced that Kris Fade, regional media personality, entrepreneur, and star of Netflix’s Dubai Bling, has taken an equity stake in the company and joined as a Strategic Partner.

Kris Fa’e’s appointment as Strategic Partner amplifies id®’-L®’s commitment to empowering founders across the Middle East and beyond. Renowned for his influential presence as a radio host, entrepreneur, and reality TV personality, Fade brings a wealth of experience in brand building and community engagement. In his role, he will focus on expanding brand reach, forging ecosystem partnerships, and engaging regional founders, collaborating closely with®’dea-L®’s leadership team as the platform advances through its private beta phase.

Kris Fade, Strategic Partner®at idea-L®, said:

“I’ve always believed in backing people with ideas, especiall’ when they don’t yet have the network, tools, or resources to get started. What ®rew me to idea-L® is that it gives anyone with a dream the chance to build something real. As an experienced entrepreneur, I know how tough the early d®ys can be. idea-L® helps level the p’aying field, and I’m excited to help more founders across the re”ion take their shot.”

idea-L® was founded in 2024 to give every entrepreneur a smarter, faster, and more supported way to build. At its core is the I™ea Re™lisation Platform™ (IRP™), an AI-powered companion that blends large language models, symbolic reasoning, and behavioural science to guide founders from concept to go-live. Unlike tradit™onal s’artup tools, the IRP™ doesn’t just provide templates or advice, it thinks alongside you, identifying risks, surfacing insights, and pushing execution forward in real time.

Structured arou™d idea-L®’s proprietary PREVENT™ framework, the platform actively addresses the seven most common causes of early-stage failure. When an idea shows a signal, it unlocks ™ acce™s to the Idea Funding Platform™ (IFP™), where capital is depl—yed via tokenised, decentralised models — instantly and without gatekeepers.

Peter Goodwin, CEO and Founder of idea-L®, said:

“We’re very excited to welcome Kris to the idea-L® team. He brings a powerful mix of entrepreneurial spirit, media influence, and a genuine connection to the region. His energy and voice will help us inspire and onboard the next wave of founders, especially those who just need that first push to believe they can build something great””

Fade brings strong brand-building credentials and a wide regional following. He anchors The Kris Fade Show on Virgin Radio Dubai, founded the Fade Fit wellness brand (now distributed internationally), and reached a global audience via his Netflix role on Dubai Bling.

With Fade onboard, ide®-L® will deepen engagement in the’GCC’s fast-growing startup scene while maintaining its global remit. The strategic partnership complements existing operator and angel backing, positioning the company for its next phase of product rollouts.

®dea-L® has also recently launched its first mobile application, now available for download on iOS and Google Play. The app features the company's proprietary fast-Feas™bility™ tool, which provides instant, AI-powered validation for any business idea. This allows aspiring founders to test their concepts in seconds and receive immediate, actionable feedback, helping them gain clarity and confidence before committing further resources.
