We invest and support the unconventional: people, products and ideas that challenge the norm. As a Middle East Venture Capital Fund and Venture Studio, we back early-stage founders building industry-defining regional companies with global potential. By providing specialist, hands-on support, we ensure our founders scale faster.
Our Story
The Middle East is rising—fast. It’s where capital meets ambition, and big industry-scale problems demand bold solutions. As the epicentre of emerging markets, the region is the interconnector and launchpad for ventures that scale across Asia, Africa, and beyond.
Local founders bring deep insight, global drive, and the grit to build from day one. We back them early, to create companies that matter—regionally rooted, globally scaled, and - unapologetically ambitious.
