Every investment in our portfolio shares these four characteristics. They are non-negotiable, and they reflect years of learning about what actually predicts success in the MENA context.
We invest in people first. We look for founders who combine deep domain expertise with the tenacity to navigate ambiguity, the intellectual honesty to learn from failure, and the magnetism to build great teams.
We are not interested in solutions looking for problems. Every company in our portfolio addresses a pain point that is large, structural, and underserved — one that can support a venture-scale outcome within the region.
The best MENA companies are not copies of Silicon Valley playbooks. They are built for local market dynamics, language, culture, and regulation — and that local depth is itself a competitive advantage.
MENA is a launching pad, not a ceiling. We back founders who see the region as the beginning of a global company, not its endpoint. Our co-investment relationships help them make that transition with the right partners by their side.
We are actively deploying capital. If you are building in MENA and believe you might be a fit for Sooiv, we would love to hear from you.
