OUR FOCUS
GREAT TECH
We invest in great tech that is solving a real problem. We are sector agnostic. We look for founders who are capital efficient, have growth mentality, and want to make a real impact in their world. We listen to all, meet many, but only invest in, and work with, a selected few.
WE INVEST IN PEOPLE
We firmly believe that the owners and their team are the key to success. We only invest in people, who happen to have a great idea. People who are passionate, dynamic, and have a vision.
THE RISE OF THE REST
We are focused on emerging markets, and mostly interested in companies originated in, or operating out of the UAE. We see the UAE as a hub for Emerging Markets, and we have an unparalleled network that will drive the 10X growth we aim for.
