Fastercapital is a Scam

Analyze Fastercapital’s practices

We are a collective of entrepreneurs from around the world who were defrauded by Hesham Zreik and his company, Faster Capital.

This site is a public record of the deception we experienced, the evidence we’ve gathered, and the urgent need for legal, regulatory, and media scrutiny of this operation.

Faster Capital presents itself as a global co-funding incubator with a network of investors ready to support promising startups.

In reality, it is an unregulated, offshore scheme that has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from founders, delivering no funding, no investors, and no legitimate support in return.

We are a collective of entrepreneurs defrauded by Faster Capital. This platform exposes the deceit, provides proof, and calls for legal and media action.

Multiple victims, including myself, have uncovered evidence that this is in fact a cross-border fraud operation spanning across the UAE, Lebanon, Germany, and beyond.

Exposing FasterCapital: A Global Fraud Scheme Targeting Entrepreneurs

In October 2023, I engaged with FasterCapital for my Morocco-based development project after they claimed to provide access to investors in exchange for a shared funding commitment.
They assured:

  • A professional investor outreach campaign.
  • Payment through a 5% commission on funds raised.
  • A full refund if no investors were secured within nine months.

Instead:

  • I was instructed to transfer over £70,000 in shared costs (my share and theirs) to Mr. Zreik’s personal accounts in Germany – not a corporate account in Dubai as implied.
  • Invoices were issued from a Lebanon-based office, not the UAE.
  • Dubai authorities confirmed FasterCapital is not based in Dubai and are investigating them for misrepresentation.

The “investor contact reports” provided were vague, date-inconsistent, and failed to show any real investor introductions.

How the Fraud Scheme Operates

Evidence and victim reports reveal a repeatable fraud pattern:

False Legitimacy

Claiming to be UAE-based with global investor networks yet according to authorities, there’s no such company as Fastercapital in UAE.

Binding Contract & High Upfront Payment

Requesting high fees over $10,000 for 1,000 investors reached. These fees are justified as a “shared project cost” to secure investors and can only be paid upfront.

Redirection of Funds & Minimal delivery

Money is routed to personal account of Hesham Zreik in Lebanon, not corporate ones. They go on to generate generic, unverifiable investor contact reports with mismatched dates and to some, no meetings held at all.
