Who we are
MENA Angel Investor is a team of private equity investors that support entrepreneurs throughout the Middle East by providing new business funding in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Qatar. We aid entrepreneurs building their start-ups through funding, mentoring and accessing a wealth of network contacts. Our contribution goes beyond just capital; it includes assistance with strategy formulation, market penetration and key introductions.
We are an experienced team of discerning investors, of mostly former and current executives and entrepreneurs, who provide counsel and capital to high potential businesses in a wide variety of industries. We generally look for high quality investment opportunities in technology, internet and new media areas; however other sectors with high growth opportunities are also considered. We are ultimately looking to partner with entrepreneurs who have innovative ideas creating lasting impact to our society and with whom we have alignment through our core values and vision.
MENA Angel Investor is rooted in our belief that funding and mentoring the great young and diverse companies of the future drives growth and innovation for the benefit of our society. We’re interested in the “what if’s” of our future and we’re here supporting the startup ecosystem.
Our Vision
Our passion at MENA Angel Investor is in unlocking the potential of innovative early stage and developing entrepreneurial businesses and strategically driving them forward to greater success. We believe that though there is a growing talent pool for startups, particularly female led startups, there is still limited support available to them within the MENA region.
Our mission is to provide a platform for these early stage startups to grow their businesses and prosper to their maximum potential by fully harnessing our extensive networks and business experience.
We achieve this by:
Providing seed funding to Middle East businesses allowing them to accomplish the ambitions and aspirations of their founders.
Opening access to a wide range of regional trusted network contacts and opportunities to the business founder.
Providing business founders with access to a wealth of entrepreneurial, technical, technological, commercial and marketing experience that they can learn from.
We hand select only the most exceptional people and ideas. We believe that just having a great idea is not enough; the person behind the idea must have the vision, passion and commitment to take it from concept to success. This is notoriously one of the most challenging aspects of creating a successful business and this is where we are here to help and where our expertise lies.
