A15 is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests at pre-seed and seed stage in the Middle East and North Africa, with a focus on Egypt. The firm positions itself as a partner to exceptional entrepreneurs building enduring businesses in the region, working alongside founders rather than directing them.
Its activity is structured around three areas beyond the initial cheque. Hands-on founder support is shaped by what each company needs, drawing on experience from building and scaling businesses across industries and on a network of ecosystem participants and stakeholders. The firm also supports founders through follow-on fundraising, sharing insights and connections to global investors, and helps them develop and execute an exit strategy when the time is right.
The stated operating philosophy is people-first and long-term in orientation: A15 describes its aim as building businesses that stand the test of time. Its geographic presence is the MENA region, with Egypt the primary market of focus.
