We’re passionate about building a community with our founders and integrating you into something larger. Our team has collaborated for 4 years, investing in over 180 startups across 4 MENA countries.
Many of us have been in your shoes and strive to treat founders as we would want to be treated. Beyond investment, you’ll gain extensive training in critical areas and access to capital reserves to propel your growth. Unlike typical regional funds, our origins trace back to Silicon Valley, fostering extensive networks across the US and the entire region.
We typically invest approximately $200,000 at the seed stage, with follow-on investments up to $1 million in subsequent rounds leading up to Series A, supporting about 20% of our portfolio. We provide standardized, founder-friendly terms and legal documentation, and actively assist our startups in securing full funding rounds through our network introductions.
But +VC isn’t just about financial backing. We recognize the invaluable expertise that seasoned practitioners bring, which can significantly elevate startup trajectories. Each startup benefits from our +Growth curriculum, featuring lectures, one-on-one mentorship, and community engagement to foster a growth mindset. Our mentors, distinguished startup veterans, offer practical insights and expertise.
You’ll also become part of our +Community, connecting with a diverse group of founders in your sector and city for networking, advice, and mutual support during both victories and challenges. Additionally, we host an annual, exclusive +Portfolio Summit featuring workshops and community-building activities, with participation from investors and LPs in our network.
We seek teams from or based in the MENA region driven by execution, having launched a product with user or customer traction. We are particularly interested in ventures pioneering innovations not yet seen in our region, across various sectors where technology plays a pivotal role in distribution or business models. Our focus is on founders addressing significant market challenges, with a preference for initiatives aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and emphasizing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors.
While there’s no universal formula for success, we believe an ideal founding team comprises three roles: coder, growth marketer, and subject matter expert. Success takes diverse forms, and this combination is optimal for managing the multifaceted demands and resources crucial at early stages.
We don’t invest solely in ideas or products; we prioritize ventures demonstrating effective user or customer acquisition strategies and positive market response to their solutions.
