Consulting HAUS emphasized the deal was a milestone for the local and regional ecosystem





Consulting HAUS served as the exclusive sell‑side advisor to Snoonu in its landmark acquisition by Jahez Group. By guiding Snoonu through negotiations and positioning the company at more than a billion‑riyal valuation, Consulting HAUS played a pivotal role in securing favorable terms and ensuring the transaction reflected Snoonu’s growth trajectory. From business planning to deal structuring, diligence and negotiation support, the firm acted to safeguard the interests of Snoonu’s shareholders. It also underscored the importance of professional expertise in cross‑border GCC transactions and marked a milestone for Qatar’s tech ecosystem.

 

“We are proud to have served as Snoonu’s exclusive advisor in this landmark transaction, which underscores the critical role of professional advisory in enabling successful cross‑border deals across the GCC. By guiding Snoonu through this acquisition, we have highlighted Qatar’s emergence as a hub for tech innovation which will act as a benchmark and provide motivation for other Qatari tech companies moving forward.” said Laith Dajani - Managing Partner of Consulting HAUS.

 

Consulting HAUS began its mandate nearly a year ahead of the transaction’s close, laying the groundwork for Snoonu’s successful exit. The firm’s initial phase centered on developing a robust business plan and ensuring operational readiness, establishing a structured process designed to minimize negotiation friction and safeguard value. Building on this foundation, Consulting HAUS took the lead in transaction execution, working seamlessly with buy-side consultants, legal counsel, and auditors. Throughout the engagement, the firm was instrumental in managing stakeholder expectations, maintaining alignment across all parties, and driving a disciplined project-management framework. This comprehensive approach proved pivotal in delivering value and ensuring the transaction was executed with precision, transparency, and strategic foresight.

 

Reflecting on the firm’s advisory role in the transaction, Hamad Al Hajri - CEO of Snoonu said, “We value Consulting‑HAUS’s expertise and professionalism which was one of the supporting factors in getting the deal over the line and overcoming the challenges along the way. Our landmark agreement with Saudi Arabia’s Jahez Group brings new investment, valuing Snoonu at over QAR 1 billion — one of the largest private infusions in the nation’s history, and undoubtedly the largest in its tech sector. From the heart of Doha, we are accelerating toward regional leadership while staying firmly rooted in Qatar’s values, vision, and talent.”

Its integrated model ensures that this depth of expertise is applied to every engagement, delivering clients the highest standards of service and strategic insight.
