Where We Work
The UK & The UAE
Where the UAE's ambition meets opportunity in the UK.
By Colony operates across the UK and the UAE. From our hub in the heart of one of the world's leading business capitals, our representatives introduce investors and entrepreneurs to the UK side of our business.
Discover our UAE hubOur Model
“We treat an introduction the way a good host treats a guest — so that by the time two sides meet, everything already feels considered.”
— A principal, By Colony
By Colony was built on a simple conviction: the right introduction, made with care, is worth more than any cold approach. So we treat business development as hospitality, not sales.
Our UAE hub sits at a meeting point of international capital. From here, our representatives build genuine relationships with the investors, founders and business leaders the region attracts.
Those who are the right fit — judged with care, and sharpened by the AI we bring to the work — are introduced to the UK side of our business.
Inside Our UAE Hub
A place built for meeting, and for building trust.

Where We Host
Artificial Intelligence
The judgment behind every introduction, sharpened by AI.
Our model has always been about the right introduction, not the most introductions. We now use artificial intelligence (AI) to help our UAE representatives do exactly that — reading fit and timing carefully, so the people we bring to the UK side are the people who genuinely belong there. The AI does the groundwork. The relationship stays with us.
Understanding fit
We use AI to read who is truly suited to the UK operation, so an introduction is relevant from the very first conversation.
The right moment
It helps us judge not just the right person, but the right time to make an introduction — never rushed, never mistimed.
Always human-led
Every introduction is still made by a person who knows you. AI sharpens the judgment; it never replaces the relationship.
Our UAE Hub
The UAE hub is where it begins — a gateway between global capital and the UK side of By Colony.
Operating today from one of the world's foremost business capitals, our UAE team represents By Colony on the ground: meeting investors and entrepreneurs, building relationships, and opening the door to our UK operation. The hub is run by our UAE partner, Point 3 Advisory FZCO.
