Sectors in Focus
Sectors We Back
We focus our capital and expertise on sectors where MENA's structural advantages create outsized opportunity for early-stage founders.
Fintech and Embedded Finance
MENA's 400 million underbanked consumers represent one of the world's largest fintech opportunities. We back founders rebuilding financial infrastructure from the ground up.
Digital Health
From telemedicine to AI diagnostics and chronic disease management, we fund technology that expands access to quality healthcare across every stratum of MENA society.
EdTech and Future of Work
With 60% of the region under 30 years old, MENA's youth bulge creates enormous demand for skills, credentials, and new pathways into the knowledge economy.
Conviction at the Earliest Stage
At Sooiv, we believe the most important capital in venture is the first check. When a founder has nothing but a vision and a prototype, what they need most is a partner who truly believes — someone who has done the work to understand their market and their potential.
We take concentrated bets on exceptional founders solving real problems with genuine urgency. Our diligence is fast, our decisions are decisive, and our support extends well beyond the wire transfer.
